Computer crash grounds UK flights

Second crash in two weeks...

Flights across the UK were grounded today after computers controlling air traffic systems in West Drayton crashed early this morning.

The systems are now fully functioning again but timetables are only working at 70 per cent efficiency, meaning continued delays for thousands of travellers.

Reports claim the system at fault was not the long-overdue and over-budget air traffic control system at Swanwick.

The cause of the downtime was a legacy system that has already crashed once in the last two weeks.
