EMBARGO: Immediate Release

The Liberal Democrats have urged Rishi Sunak to call an urgent COBRA meeting after UK air traffic control systems have been hit with a “technical issue.”

Commenting Liberal Democrat Transport Spokesperson Wera Hobhouse MP said: 

“Rishi Sunak and his Ministers need to get a grip on this issue urgently and hold a COBRA meeting. 

“Millions of holidaymakers could be facing huge disruption in the coming days due to this fault and we can’t risk this Government being missing in action yet again. 

“Brits need to know that the Government is doing all it can to make sure people aren't hit with major delays and disruptions in the coming days."
