Chaos in England: airspace closed, flights suspended

Numerous flights have been grounded in the UK due to a nationwide malfunction in air traffic control computer systems.

British media announced that the country’s airspace was closed and flights had largely come to a halt.

“This morning there was a failure across the entire network of UK air traffic control computer systems,” Scottish airline Loganair said in a statement. “While we expect to be able to operate most flights within Scotland on a locally coordinated basis and with minimal disruption, there may be delays on international and north-south flights.”

In January 2023, the US Civil Aviation Administration announced that it would suspend all domestic flights due to a technical malfunction in the NOTAMS air traffic control system. White House spokeswoman Karine Jean-Pierre said the incident was not a cyberattack.

Later, the US Civil Aviation Administration announced that the staff accidentally deleted the files while trying to restore synchronization between the primary database and the backup database and therefore the system malfunctioned. .
