Flight delays continue after 2,000 UK flights cancelled Tuesday

Flight delays are continuing on Wednesday after a UK air traffic control problem cancelled nearly 2,000 flights on Tuesday. Nats, the air traffic control provider, cited a technical glitch, with chief executive Martin Rolfe stating a cyber attack was "categorically" not the cause. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander is scheduled to speak to MPs today and has requested Rolfe attend a meeting.
