Britain Air Traffic Control Chaos

Britain is to hold an independent inquiry into a computer failure at its air traffic control hub which caused chaos for thousands of travellers last week, aviation officials said Monday.

A system failure affecting air traffic control workstations was to blame for disruption to thousands of passengers coming in and out of Britain's biggest airports, officials said, as services returned to normal on Saturday.
