Hitilafu ya Udhibiti wa Trafiki ya Anga Yasimamisha Ndege Heathrow, Gatwick na Viwanja Vingine vya Uingereza
Hitilafu ya kiufundi katika NATS, mtoa huduma wa udhibiti wa trafiki ya anga wa Uingereza, ilisimamisha safari za kuondoka Heathrow na Gatwick na kuvuruga safari za ndege Manchester na Stansted; kurejea kawaida kunatarajiwa kuchukua muda.
Imeundwa na AI kutoka vyanzo vilivyotajwa hapa chini.
Safari za ndege katika Heathrow na Gatwick zilisimamishwa alasiri ya Jumanne, Septemba 8, baada ya hitilafu ya kiufundi katika NATS, kampuni inayoendesha udhibiti wa trafiki ya anga ya Uingereza, kusimamisha safari za kuondoka katika viwanja vyote viwili. Heathrow na Gatwick vilikuwa miongoni mwa vilivyoathirika zaidi, ingawa Stansted na Manchester pia viliripoti vurugu, huku onyo la athari za mnyororo likitolewa kwa baadhi ya viwanja vya ndege nchini Ireland na Visiwa vya Channel.
Abiria katika vituo hivyo viwili vikuu waliripoti ucheleweshaji wa masaa kadhaa huku ndege zikizuiliwa hadi nyakati mpya za kuondoka zilipopatikana. Kwa kuwa Heathrow na Gatwick hufanya kazi karibu na uwezo wao kamili katika hali za kawaida, hata kuvurugika kwa muda mfupi huwa na tabia ya kuleta athari za mnyororo: mara kasi ya kuondoka inapopungua, ndege na wafanyakazi hukosa nafasi zao kwa safari za baadaye, na abiria wanaounganisha safari huwa katika hatari ya kukosa safari zinazofuata mbali zaidi ya kipindi cha awali cha uvurugaji. Maafisa walisema kurejea kawaida kutoka kwa uvurugaji huu kutachukua muda.
