Falha no controle de tráfego aéreo paralisa voos em Heathrow, Gatwick e outros aeroportos do Reino Unido

Voos em Heathrow e Gatwick ficaram parados na tarde de terça-feira, 8 de setembro, após uma falha técnica na NATS, empresa que administra o controle de tráfego aéreo do Reino Unido, interromper as decolagens em ambos os aeroportos. Heathrow e Gatwick foram os mais afetados, embora Stansted e Manchester também tenham relatado interrupções, com avisos de efeitos em cadeia para alguns aeroportos na Irlanda e nas Ilhas do Canal.
Passageiros nos dois principais hubs relataram atrasos de várias horas enquanto as aeronaves aguardavam a renegociação dos horários de decolagem. Como Heathrow e Gatwick operam próximo à capacidade máxima em condições normais, mesmo uma interrupção breve tende a se espalhar em cadeia: quando as taxas de decolagem caem, aviões e tripulações saem de posição para rotações posteriores, e passageiros em conexão correm o risco de perder voos seguintes muito além da janela inicial de interrupção. Autoridades disseram que a recuperação da interrupção levaria algum tempo.
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
