9月8日火曜日午後、英国の航空管制を運営するNATSで技術的障害が発生し、ヒースロー空港とガトウィック空港の両方で出発便が停止した。両空港が最も大きな影響を受けたが、スタンステッドとマンチェスターでも混乱が報告され、アイルランドやチャンネル諸島の一部空港にも波及的な影響が出る恐れがあると警告された。
両主要ハブの乗客からは、修正された出発枠が調整されるまで機体が待機を強いられ、数時間の遅延が出たとの報告が相次いだ。ヒースローとガトウィックは通常時ほぼ限界に近い容量で運航しているため、短時間の障害でも連鎖的に影響が広がりやすい。出発便数が減ると機体や乗務員は後続便のスケジュールから外れ、乗り継ぎ客は当初の混乱の時間枠をはるかに超えて後続便を逃すリスクにさらされる。当局はこの混乱からの復旧にはしばらく時間がかかるとの見方を示した。
Key facts
- A technical failure at NATS halted departures at Heathrow and Gatwick on September 8
- Manchester and Stansted also reported disruption, with knock-on effects warned in Ireland and the Channel Islands
- Passengers reported delays of several hours as departure slots were renegotiated
- Recovery from the disruption was expected to take some time given both airports operate near capacity
