NATS air traffic control technical issue

Following Tuesday's technical issue affecting NATS air traffic control, we continue to work closely with airlines to ensure the majority of flights operate as normal, although there may still be some changes to schedules. We know the knock-on effects of Tuesday's disruption have been frustrating, and we thank those affected for their patience. We advise passengers to check with their airline for the latest flight information before travelling to Heathrow.

Minimising the impact of noise is a priority for Heathrow. We have been at the forefront of efforts to tackle noise and as a result Heathrow's noise footprint has shrunk considerably over the past few decades. However, we know noise remains an issue and we continue to make efforts to reduce the impact of noise. Find out more about our Noise Action Plan, our Fly Quieter and Greener programme and how we are developing quieter operating procedures.
