英国国家空中交通管制公司（Nats）于9月8日因软件缺陷引发的系统故障，导致长达6小时的运营中断，数十万乘客的航班遭取消或延误 1。该缺陷位于国家空域系统的代码分配模块中，在处理中断后恢复时，飞行数据在数毫秒内被损坏，最初仅影响伦敦地区出港航班，最终扩散至整个英国及其他地区 1。
Nats首席执行官Martin Rolfe表示"这个问题已被识别，缓解措施已到位，永久修复正在安全测试和部署中" 1。清除因此次故障造成的乘客延误积压需要超过两天时间 1。运输部长Heidi Alexander表示"我们需要紧急了解为什么这个问题在造成混乱之前没有被发现和修复" 1。政府已要求民航局进行独立审查，将在6个月内公布审查报告 1。这是英国自2023年夏季以来第三次重大空中交通管制故障 1。
A software defect in Britain's National Air Traffic Services (Nats) triggered a devastating disruption on September 8, 2024, leaving hundreds of thousands of passengers stranded through flight cancellations and delays across the United Kingdom and beyond.1 The malfunction, occurring in milliseconds within the National Airspace System's flight data allocation module, corrupted output data during recovery from an interruption.1 The outage lasted six hours, with initial disruptions confined to London departures before cascading across the entire country and neighboring regions.1
Recovery efforts proved protracted, requiring more than two days to clear the backlog of delayed passengers from the system.1 Nats Chief Executive Martin Rolfe stated that "the issue has been identified, mitigating measures are in place, and a permanent fix is undergoing safe testing and deployment."1 Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander acknowledged the severity of the incident, saying "we need urgent answers on why this problem wasn't identified and fixed before it caused this chaos."1 The Civil Aviation Authority has been tasked with conducting an independent review, with findings expected within six months.1 This represents the third major air traffic control failure in Britain since summer 2023.1
