Re: Fault hits UK Air traffic Control
Crap Change Management or lack of appropriate Resilience…
Quote:
We have identified and remedied the technical issue affecting our flight planning system this morning. We are now working closely with airlines and airports to manage the flights affected as efficiently as possible. Our engineers will be carefully monitoring the system’s performance as we return to normal operations.
The flight planning issue affected the system’s ability to automatically process flight plans, meaning that flight plans had to be processed manually which cannot be done at the same volume, hence the requirement for traffic flow restrictions.

Re: Fault hits UK Air traffic Control
Is this due to Indian IT staff that Sunak brought in from his father-in-law company?

Government sources and aviation officials ruled out a cyberattack. Sources suggested the issue could be the result of an incorrectly filed plan by a French airline, although Nats would not comment.
It is understood that officials know what caused the issue but not how it disabled the system. An investigation has been launched.

Re: Fault hits UK Air traffic Control
Of course they would never actually tell us it was the Russians (or any other nefarious state actor).
We’d just file it under administrative error and carry out a retaliatory cyber attack silently. It probably wouldn’t even register on the news here, but the people who need to know would know.
Like all those fishing trawlers accidentally cutting subsea cables in the vicinity of Russian submarines. What bad luck.

Russian subs don't cut subsea cables.
the boring reality is, that it is indeed fishing boats, ships anchors and geological events that damage cables.

Re: Fault hits UK Air traffic Control
Caused a right load of chaos at East Midlands.
Of all the days it could happen, bank holiday when many families were getting back from school holidays was the worst time.
