UK air traffic control system failure.

[Beso]

Some failure or something.. :shrug:

[Vanessa]

It was fine yesterday, but there were delays because of the weather.

[arista]

Yes Computer Engineers
are trying to fix it.

This is the problem with the Systems
it makes it unsafe to fly.

So some planes have returned to Europe
to land

[arista]

SkyNewsHD Live

have added extra trains.

[Vanessa]

Hopefully it will be sorted out soon..

[arista]

Hopefully it will be sorted out soon..


The problem is
although teams are working
they can not give a time,
when it will return to
normal.

[Cherie]

Hackers probably

[arista]

Hackers probably


Yes,
they are saying Technical Fault



But this also this same type hack
went down in the USA.


Russia I would think.

[arista]

They now claim it is fixed


But one mega backlog to clear , first

[Vanessa]

Yes, it's been sorted.
But all flights will be delayed.
Mine is on Thursday.

[arista]

Yes, it's been sorted.

Lets hope by then
you can travel OK.

[Vanessa]

Yes, the system is up and running again.

[bots]

they won't want to admit the system was hacked given its air traffic control

[arista]

6 hours of Computer Delay
Causes 5 days of Delays.

[arista]

they won't want to admit the system was hacked given its air traffic control

Sadly True.

[Vanessa]

The flight from Pescara to London has just left. Our house is near the airport.
We saw and heard it.

so who pays for all the extra costs involved in this?

This is now the Mega Debate,
A French PDF file had a error
that set off all the systems.

Nothing at all to with Easy Jet or Ryanair.
For example


So that National Air System
had no 2nd back up computer in a 2nd room,
that was working
That can be corrected.


NAT should refund all the airlines
but of course, they will not.

[arista]

£1.3,Million is the Air Traffic Controller Wages

[Vanessa]

I can't believe they had no back up in case of error.

I’ll be claiming compensation and also on my insurance. Won’t cover my loss of earning on Monday morning though :fist:
