National Air Traffic Services confirmó que un defecto de software de una milisegundo en el sistema de control de tráfico aéreo del Reino Unido obligó a cancelar alrededor de 2 000 vuelos el 8 de septiembre, afectando a importantes aeropuertos como Heathrow, Gatwick y Manchester, y desencadenó una revisión gubernamental, según informa la BBC. Informes anteriores del mismo día indicaron que la interrupción afectó a 15 aeropuertos y provocó más de 1 000 cancelaciones, con aerolíneas como British Airways, Ryanair y EasyJet reportando retrasos generalizados. Posteriormente se señaló que cientos de miles de pasajeros quedaron varados, NATS emitió disculpas y solicitó una investigación, y la falla también impactó al aeropuerto de Bristol.
