![]() (Swiss had rebooked me on a flight via Lisbon arriving tomorrow night at 22.30, eight hours after the family funeral that I was trying to get to. “Then my aunt informed me they had been rebooked from London City to Geneva tonight, then to Zurich tomorrow morning at 6am. “I was on my way to the airport – but having checked live departures I decided there was no point in carrying on as everything was cancelled. “I was booked on a Swiss flight from London City to Zurich which was cancelled this afternoon”, he said on Monday. Luke McLaughlin, a Guardian Sport sub-editor and writer, described arriving at London City airport to “try his luck” after his flight to Zurich was cancelled. The BBC presenter Gabby Logan tweeted that she was stuck on a plane on a runway at Budapest airport and passengers had been told they might be waiting for up to 12 hours. The Irish transport minister, Jack Chambers, has warned of a major knock-on effect on flights to and from Ireland as a consequence of the UK air traffic control fault, PA reports. The transport secretary, Mark Harper, said that despite the technical issue being resolved “flights are still unfortunately affected”.Ī British journalist who faces being stuck in France for up to six days due to the technical issue affecting air traffic control systems said there is uncertainty over who will pay for the extended stay. 20.42 CEST Here is a summary of today's developmentsĪirline passengers have been warned that flight disruption could persist for days, after a technical meltdown in UK air traffic control left hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded or delayed on the summer bank holiday. Please contact your airline for information on how this may affect your flight. Our priority is always to ensure that every flight in the UK remains safe and we are sincerely sorry for the disruption this is causing. 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. ![]() Our engineers will be carefully monitoring the system’s performance as we return to normal operations. We are now working closely with airlines and airports to manage the flights affected as efficiently as possible. We have identified and remedied the technical issue affecting our flight planning system this morning. In a statement on their website, Nats said: The national air traffic services (Nats) said they have identified and fixed the technical issues that caused a network-wide failure for air traffic control systems this morning. It supersedes FAA-EM-78-8.16.39 CEST Issue with UK air traffic control system ‘identified and remedied’ This paper provides minor changes from FAA-EM-78-8, April 1978, Parameters of Future ATC Systems Relating to Airport CapacityDelay. Certain parameter values related to the estimation of present day delaycapacity are also presented. The parametric values presented are to be used by the FAAUser Group Airport Case Study Teams in assessing the potential impact of future airportATC changes on delaycapacity. It also discusses the potential for reducing interarrival errors and runway occupancy time. This document presents estimates of changes in longitudinal spacing on final approach that may be realized as the products of the E and D programs become available. Abstract: The FAA, in conjunction with users of the major airports, is conducting a series of site specific case studies as to how to increase airport capacity-both now and in the future when the products of the FAAs Engineering and Development E and D program have been implemented as part of the operational ATC system.
