More Relative Question pertaining to the thread....

Is the UK Air Traffic System similar to the US system?
Maybe someone who has flown in/out of the UK can illuminate the severity of a 130+ Flight Cancelation.
Obviously not good, but US had a major Flight Cancelation recently due to hardware malfunctions.


Id have to say if 130 flights were canceled all across the US, I wouldnt have batted an eye. But the Uk has a much smaller scope. And this was in a very small time frame. 48 hours ish or less from what im seeing. And not many if any outlets at all are saying cyber attack yet these fellas were clean or nats just messed up real bad.

"“This was a radar-related issue which was resolved by quickly switching to the back-up system during which time we reduced traffic to ensure safety,” Nats said, adding that there was “no evidence this was cyber-related”. "
"NATS has confirmed the issue was not cyber-related and stressed that safety procedures were followed throughout. "

Im gonna talk to my dad about this tomorrow. He's a 30 year air force vet, pilot, and all around aviation buff. Something about this doesnt sit right. They have no backup in place to allow travel to continue when theres a single radar hiccup? Or just imagine if they shut down the same fraction of flights and gave the same excuse in the US. Aiports would be burning.
