The Transport Secretary has told MPs she did not believe the air traffic control problems that have caused chaos for hundreds of thousands of passengers were “unavoidable”. Travellers were caught up in the disruption after hundreds of flights were cancelled following the Nats technical issue on Tuesday. Cancellations and delays continued on Wednesday as airlines dealt with knock-on impacts at airports including Heathrow, Gatwick, Manchester and Stansted. Speaking with Head of Travel at The Sun Lisa Minot, Talk's Ian Collins says: "It's rather extraordinary, isn't it? Look, I know stuff can go wrong, but this seems quite big!" #natsdisruption #flightdelays #iancollins #talk Have you got a story?
