Swiss will resume daily flights between Zurich and Dubai from October 27, after the route was suspended in March due to the situation in the Middle East. The airline is continuing to monitor the situation closely and postponed the start by two days for operational reasons.

A fault in NATS’s flight data processing system caused outages and delays at several major airports in the UK and in Dublin. Airlines of the Lufthansa Group had to divert or cancel flights; affected passengers are being automatically rebooked. Low-cost carriers sharply criticized NATS and demanded consequences, while the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has requested a full report. NATS said the problem has been resolved but warned that a full return to normal flight operations will take longer. » Altro su wiwo.de
