What is happening to UK? 2,000 flights cancelled before, now another critical system goes down

Britain’s skies descended into chaos after another technical failure at NATS’ Prestwick centre disrupted flights across the UK, affecting more than 25,000 Ryanair passengers and delaying over 140 flights. Manchester, Belfast and Edinburgh were among the airports hit before NATS said the problem had been fixed. The disruption follows another major system failure earlier this month that contributed to thousands of cancellations. Meanwhile, hundreds of drone incidents have separately been reported near British defence sites. With airports repeatedly disrupted and military facilities facing unexplained drone activity, why does Britain keep struggling to secure its skies?
