A statement said: “We have identified that the issue was in our flight processing system. Our engineers are on site and working urgently to resume normal operations as quickly as possible.

“We recognise the ongoing disruption to travel, for which we sincerely apologise.

“Flights are still departing and airspace is open, but recovery will take some time. We will provide further updates as soon as possible.

“Passengers should check the status of their flight with their airline. We will provide further updates as soon as we have confirmed information, at www.nats.aero and on X at @NATS.”

However, Which? has warned that some customers may not be entitled to compensation due to the nature of the cancellations.

Rory Boland, Editor of Which? Travel said: “These air traffic control disruptions will leave many travellers feeling concerned about flight delays or possible cancellations.

"If your flight is cancelled or delayed, you're unlikely to be owed compensation by the airline as the technical issue is considered an 'extraordinary circumstance' and out of the airline's control. However, you do have a right to food or a hotel stay depending on the length of the delay, but be sure you keep the receipts as you will need to claim this back from the airline.

“If you are due to travel today or tomorrow, check the advice from your airport, tour operator, airline apps, or airport social media feeds for the most up to date advice.”

Nats provides air traffic control services to 15 UK airports.

EasyJet said some of its flights are “unable to operate” following the technical issue affecting air traffic controller Nats.

“A Nats Air Traffic Control system failure this afternoon is unfortunately causing delays to flights across Europe with some flights unable to operate,” the airline said in a statement.

“We will do all we can minimise the impact of this for our customers including providing customers on flights unable to operate with their options including a free transfer or refund and meals and hotel accommodation for those who require them.

“We would strongly advise customers due to fly today to check our flight tracker: easyjet.com/en/flight-tracker for the latest information.”
