SINGAPORE: Two scheduled Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights from Singapore to London's Heathrow Airport were diverted on Tuesday (Sep 8) due to a technical issue affecting air traffic control services at major UK airports.

More than 150 flights across the United Kingdom, mostly at Heathrow, have been scrapped. The National Air Traffic Services said that the issue had forced "a very complex recovery and has created difficulties for the whole aviation network, from which it will take time to recover".

Heathrow said late Tuesday that departures had resumed, but warned that disruptions are expected to continue.

In response to CNA's queries, an SIA spokesperson said on Wednesday that the affected flights were SQ308 and SQ318.

Customers should go to SIA's flight status page for information on the status of their flights, SIA added.

新加坡：由于英国主要机场的空中交通管制服务受到技术问题影响，新加坡航空公司（新航）两架从新加坡飞往伦敦希思罗机场的定期航班于周二（9月8日）改道。

英国境内超过150个航班被取消，其中大部分是在希思罗机场起飞的。国家空中交通服务部门表示，这一问题导致“恢复工作非常复杂，并给整个航空网络带来了困难，需要时间才能恢复”。

希思罗机场周二晚间表示，航班已经恢复起飞，但警告称预计航班中断情况仍将持续。

针对亚洲新闻台的询问，新加坡航空公司发言人周三表示，受影响的航班是SQ308和SQ318。
