LONDON: Flights at several British airports were delayed on Monday due to an air traffic control failure, ⁠Britain's NATS air traffic ⁠control provider said, less than two weeks after a separate ‌issue halted flights ​across the country.


Manchester, ⁠Glasgow and ​Belfast airports were experiencing delays, ‌which NATS said was ​related to an issue at its Prestwick centre in Scotland.


"Airports south of Manchester are broadly ‌unaffected, however flights heading north ​and flights departing Scottish airports ​are ‌currently subject ⁠to some delay," NATS said in a statement.


NATS ​said Monday's delays ⁠were "unrelated to ​the issue two weeks ago", when around 2,000 flights were cancelled due ​to a software defect.
