A system failure left air traffic control unable to process flight plans automatically for several hours on bank holiday Monday
Asked what the odds were of such an incident occurring, Mr Rolfe said: “We know it’s at least one in 15 million, because we’ve had 15 million flight plans through this system and we can be absolutely certain that we’ve never seen this set of circumstances before.”
The plan was submitted to European air traffic control before being passed on to Nats. This process resulted in the plan featuring two waypoints around 4,000 nautical miles with identical names.
