Haos pe aeroporturile din Marea Britanie după o eroare de software de „o milisecundă”. Sute de mii de pasageri au fost afectați

A software error in the UK's air traffic control system caused a six-hour disruption, affecting over 2,000 flights. The incident occurred on September 8, leading to widespread cancellations and delays for passengers. Initial investigations revealed that the error happened during the processing of flight codes, resulting in corrupted data. Despite a brief recovery, the system failed again, prompting manual operations and further restrictions. The National Air Traffic Services (NATS) is under scrutiny, with calls for accountability and compensation from airlines. NATS CEO Martin Rolfe acknowledged the issue and emphasized safety measures are being implemented.
