Passengers are facing widespread flight disruption after a computer failure at the UK's air traffic control centre.

National Air Traffic Services (Nats) said a technical fault in the flight data system at its Swanwick centre had caused the problem.

It had now been restored to "full operational capacity", the air traffic control company said.

The government said the disruption was "unacceptable" and demanded a "full explanation" of what had gone wrong.

Ha, what a mess! If it happened in London, there must be a good reason for it happened. But if in KLIA, government would be blamed. Cliche.

That reflect confidence and trust people have on their respective gomen.

Yes, in Malaysia DCA is responsible for ATC. So, it is right to blame the govt.

In the UK, NATS is a private entity, although it has some government connections:
