Airspace over London has been closed and flights at southern England airports are suspended until 6pm due to a computer failure.
Heathrow said there were delays because of a power outage at the NATS air traffic control centre in Swanwick.
Gatwick said there were no flights departing but flights were arriving.
NATS confirmed there was a technical problem at Swanwick.
It said: "We apologise for any delays and our incident response team has been mobilised.
"Every possible action is being taken to assist in resolving the situation and to confirm the details.
"Further information will be released as it becomes available."
Pilot Chris McGee said the impact would be huge as the closure would hit all airports in London and across the South.
"Friday is a very, very busy time and we are in the peak time," she said.
Manchester airport said it was unaffected by the airspace closure and was ready to accept diverted flights.
