Pilot here. Some media outlets (tabloids) reporting UK airspace is shut. That’s false to get clicks. UK airspace is not closed but there are delays.
A sign of the times we’re living in is that my first question is ‘Could Russia have done this?’.
If you’re wondering which ridiculous government privatised something as important as air traffic control… it was Blair’s New Labour – after pledging not to for the 1997 election.
