According to the Times, the error may have been caused by an incorrect flight plan filed by a French airline.
An error by a French airline is the focus of investigations into the collapse of air traffic control in Britain which caused chaos at many airports with many flights.
According to the Daily Mail, citing sources in the Times, the error may have been caused by an incorrect flight plan submitted by a French airline. NATS blocked the cyber attack.
However, the Civil Aviation Authority said NATS would proceed with further information once their investigation is complete, which will then be shared with Transport Minister Mark Harper.
According to aviation analytics firm Cirium, UK airports canceled 790 flight departures and around 785 arrivals yesterday – around 27% of all departures and arrivals respectively
Heathrow had the highest number of cancellations, followed by Gatwick and Manchester.
Nearly 1,000 flights were grounded and canceled and thousands more delayed after Britain’s National Air Traffic Services (NATS) experienced “technical problems” yesterday.
