NEWS UK passengers planning to travel by air over the next couple of months could face delays as the long awaited changes to British air traffic control are introduced this weekend. The National Air Traffic service (NATS) has warned there will be minor delays, for at least two months, to flights as the centre switches to the national air centre in Swanwick, Hampshire. The switch will begin between 12:00(GMT) and 15:00(GMT) on Sunday. The Swanwick centre will eventually control the busiest air space in Europe.
