More than 2,000 flights were canceled in Britain on Tuesday and Wednesday due to a technical issue, impacting at least 300,000 passengers, with Heathrow being the worst-hit airport.

The affected passengers "are unlikely to be entitled to compensation for delays or cancellations that were directly caused by the incident," said a statement issued by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) on Wednesday.

Cancellations were slowing Wednesday evening and none is scheduled for Thursday, according to the aviation analytics firm Cirium.

National Air Traffic Services (NATS) said on Tuesday afternoon that it identified a technical issue with its flight processing system, disrupting departures across the country and causing delays and cancellations.

The four-hour air traffic outage on Tuesday "left hundreds of thousands of passengers facing cancellations, diversions, and delays," said Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander on Wednesday.

"I do not believe this issue was unavoidable," she said, ordering an independent investigation by CAA into the system operated by NATS.

Martin Rolfe, chief executive officer of NATS, said a cyberattack was ruled out as the cause of the disruption.
