flight cancellations 2025

Hyderabad, India: An Alliance Air flight bound from Hyderabad to Tirupati was cancelled on Sunday following two successive technical faults, according to official statements from the airline and corroborating media sources. The aircraft departed from Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Shamshabad, heading toward Tirupati. Shortly after takeoff, it encountered a technical anomaly and was immediately redirected back to the bay for mandatory engineering checks halting its journey before it even got underway. After the initial fault was addressed and the aircraft deemed safe to proceed, the plane developed a second technical issue. This recurrence proved more complex, delaying repairs and ultimately rendering continued operation of this sector impractical. Alliance Air opted to cancel the flight in the interest of maintaining operational integrity and minimizing downstream disruptions. “The aircraft again developed another snag for which rectification took a little longer than expected. Due to this, and in order to avoid further disruption of flights, this sector had to be cancelled,” the airline stated. The decision aligns with standard industry protocol during technical setbacks placing passenger safety above schedule adherence. Alliance Air’s fleet includes 18 ATR 72-600s, 2 ATR 42-600s, and a HAL Do-228 aircraft, which serve regional routes such as Hyderabad–Tirupati. This incident follows a similar episode earlier in the week. On August 20, another Alliance Air flight from Guwahati to Kolkata made an unscheduled emergency landing due to a technical fault, though all passengers were safely deboarded.

London, UK: A radar-related technical fault in the United Kingdom’s air traffic control system triggered widespread disruption across major airports on Wednesday evening, grounding dozens of flights and delaying hundreds more. The outage, which began around 4:05 p.m. BST at the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) Swanwick control centre, forced controllers to switch to a backup system, cutting the nation’s air traffic capacity for several hours. Although the backup system was restored within 20 minutes, the immediate effect was severe: departures and arrivals were throttled down from a standard rate of roughly 45 flights per hour to just 32. The reduced throughput created a cascading backlog that extended well into the night. According to The Independent, 84 outbound and 71 inbound services were cancelled by late evening, amounting to at least 155 total cancellations across UK airports. Heathrow experienced the most severe disruption, with 29 departures and 17 arrivals cancelled. Other hubs, including Gatwick, Manchester, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Glasgow and London City, also reported extensive delays. NATS confirmed that all systems are now fully operational and air traffic capacity is returning to normal. However, the agency warned that delays would persist while airlines reposition aircraft and crews. The incident has prompted strong criticism from airline operators. Ryanair called the outage “inexcusable” and demanded the resignation of NATS Chief Executive Martin Rolfe, while easyJet described the repeated infrastructure failures as “unacceptable for passengers and carriers alike.” Both airlines pointed to a similar outage in August 2023 that disrupted thousands of flights. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander urged passengers to check directly with their airlines for updated travel information and confirmed that the government is assessing the event. “We are reviewing the causes and immediate response to ensure lessons are learned and future resilience is strengthened,” she said. Political pressure is also building, with opposition parties and industry groups calling for an independent review of the nation’s air traffic control infrastructure. While flights have now resumed normal scheduling, officials cautioned that residual delays may continue into Thursday as airlines work through stranded passengers and repositioning requirements.
