Computer failure grounds flights



The disruption has been caused by a computer failure at Swanwick
All flights from UK airports have been suspended following an air traffic control computer system failure, British Airways has said.
Several airports including Manchester, Bristol and Newcastle say no flights have been allowed to take off for more than an hour.

The air traffic control centre at Swanwick in Hampshire is reported to have been closed.

A BBC correspondent says no more information is expected before 1030 BST.

Apparantly was an older system which crashed while a new system was being tested.
