Up to 7 hours of "technical failure"! The British air traffic is paralyzed, and the Air France Division is responsible for the disaster?

[Global Times comprehensive report] The BBC reported on its 28th daily that the National Air Traffic Administration had a 7-hour "technical failure" that afternoon, which affected many airlines and airports. Nearly 1000 flights were cancelled and thousands of passengers were blocked. This was the worst air traffic paralysis in Britain in more than a decade.

The Times quoted sources as saying that the failure may be caused by the wrong flight plan submitted by a French airline. The Daily Mail said on the 28th that the cause of the fault had been identified, but it had not yet been announced and it was unclear how it paralyzed the whole system. The National Air Traffic Administration ruled out the possibility of cyber attacks.

According to the report, although the technical problems were solved within a few hours, flights in many places in Britain were still seriously delayed, and the chain reaction may continue until this Friday. The British National Air Traffic Administration said that the traffic paralysis coincided with one of the busiest days of air traffic in the UK in a year, and more than 1 million people planned to leave or land in the UK by plane on that day.
