More than 1,000 flights were cancelled across at least 15 UK airports on October 26, 2026, due to a UK air traffic control system failure. National Air Traffic Services resolved the issue in the evening, after widespread delays stranded thousands of passengers.

A power surge at Stansted Airport on 25 October 2026 disrupted security, baggage, and immigration systems, stranding hundreds of passengers. The outage occurred amid stormy conditions linked to Storm Boelo causing wider travel disruptions across the UK.

Air Canada has been accused of denying passenger compensation by citing a maintenance loophole after flight cancellations. The Canadian Transportation Agency ordered Air Canada to pay $1,000 to a passenger in one such case.
