UK Air Traffic Hits Snooze Button, Flights Await Eagle Permission
Only in Britain could a 'technical issue' ground fleets like an eagle refusing to take flight! The UK Civil Aviation Authority admits restrictions on flights have caused delays, but cheer up! They remind us, 'remember that you have passenger rights if this happens.' London Heathrow is seeing flights like American Airlinesā AAL137 to Los Angeles limp off with a two-hour delay, proving even the queen's skies can't escape bureaucracy's chokehold.

Meanwhile, the government thinks mastering flight control means sending a group text saying 'oops, technical issue'. Britainās airports have turned into holding pens because apparently eagles get technical hiccups now.
Back in my day, delays meant a good old-fashioned weather storm, not some 'technical issue' making air traffic control sound like a confused hedgehog.
UK air traffic officials: 'Weāve got this!' Also UK flights: *take off two hours late* What, did Big Ben have a buffering problem?
