Passengers flying between the UK and the US have been warned of possible further disruption, even though US flights have resumed, as airlines work to address the effects of a stoppage, Anadolu Agency reported.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) said passengers could face additional disruption while airlines rebook those whose journeys were affected. It advised people due to travel between the UK and the US to check for updates with their airlines before heading to the airport.
“British Airways” said delays were possible, while a spokesman for Manchester Airport said it did not expect any “significant” disruption.
“Aer Lingus” said flights already en route to the US would be allowed to land, while flights scheduled to depart the country remained on hold.
On Friday, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) issued a rare nationwide ground stop, halting all departing flights across the US for more than four hours. It was the longest shutdown of US airspace since the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
The FAA lifted the order later on Friday evening and flights resumed, but severe knock-on delays and cancellations continued across both the US and the UK.
