Recently, passengers from Edinburgh Airport in Scotland were delayed because of a technical issue with air traffic control.
“It is understood the problem stemmed from ‘radio interference’ on frequencies used to speak to aircraft pilots – with the cause of the interference apparently resting on a faulty piece of equipment,” the Stornoway Gazette reported.
According to a spokeswoman from Nats, a company that provides air traffic control services in the UK, Edinburgh Airport had a technical problem with interference on some radio frequencies that only affected part of Scottish airspace.

Three flights from Glasgow Airport were cancelled, with passengers experiencing delays throughout the day, according to the Stornoway Gazette.
