Bad weather, including heavy winds and fog, has caused significant flight delays and cancellations in the UK, particularly during the busy holiday season. Passengers experienced severe overcrowding and inadequate facilities at airports like Gatwick, with many delayed for days. Experts explain that while modern aircraft can navigate through poor conditions, airports face capacity limitations that exacerbate delays. Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of such disruptions, prompting further challenges for the air travel system in Britain.
