Tens of thousands of stranded Brits have been told they face waits of up to two weeks for return flights back to the UK as air traffic control chaos enters its third day.
Stranded holidaymakers have been forced to foot the bill of staying in accommodation for several nights of face sleeping on the airport flight as they await news on when they will return home.
Despite the travel chaos, passengers have been told they face no chance of being compensated due to ‘extraordinary circumstances’ outside of the airlines' control.It comes as NATS chief executive Martin Rolfe said there are no indications that the failure was caused by a cyber-attack. Passengers wait at Stansted Airport, north of London, on August 29, 2023 after UK flights were delayed over a technical issue.National Air Traffic Services said a technical fault caused problems processing flight plans.
The fault was "identified and remedied" but the backlog of flights means passengers face days of disruption in the final part of the summer holidays.
