A former West Midlands Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner is among those stranded abroad due to a severe air traffic glitch.
Former deputy PCC, Waheed Saleem, was among those trapped abroad due to the traffic control glitch
The glitch that plagued the National Air Traffic Services brought air travel into and out of the UK to a standstill as airports across the nation worked tirelessly to figure out how to fix the issues. On Twitter, Mr Saleem wrote to BA:"Hi I'm in Istanbul due to travel today at 20.15 to London. It says delayed until 6.21 tomorrow."
NATS confirmed yesterday afternoon that the issues had been"identified and remedied", however, flights are still expected to see heavy delays as flights and schedules return to normal.
