英國航空交通管制系統Nats發生大故障,至少有1000架航班被取消,今(9日)還會繼續延誤下去,而且是起降都受到影響,連國外機場的客機也無法按照原定時間起飛。

據《BBC》報導,受影響最嚴重的是倫敦希斯洛機場、蓋特威克機場、曼徹斯特機場、伯明罕機場,英國之外的蘇格蘭、愛爾蘭等地機場也有航班誤點或取消,瑞安航空8日指稱有超過6.5萬名旅客至少被延誤8小時。

請繼續往下閱讀...

易捷航空也取消200架航班、英國航空100多架航班喊停,Nats執行長羅爾夫(Martin Rolfe)對此表達歉意,他坦言解決故障所花費的時間比預期更久,並承諾會徹查故障原因。

Nats目前已解決航空交通管制的問題,但由於前面延誤的航班太多,大量旅客仍在焦急地等待飛機,各地機場呼籲民眾出門前先查詢航班情況,英國交通大臣亞歷山大(Heidi Alexander)表示,想要全面恢復航班還需要時間,她今天將會要求羅爾夫前來說明。

The increase in the number of Russian jet drones challenges Ukraine’s air defense system

Russia has recently used a large number of high-speed jet-powered drones to attack Ukraine. The number of launches in August reached 2,800, almost twice as many as in July. These drones fly at speeds of 400-600 kilometers per hour and reach altitudes of 5-7 kilometers, reducing the effectiveness of Ukraine's low-cost air defense network, which originally had an interception rate of over 90%, to about 60%. There are frequent air raid warnings in Kiev, and the headquarters of the Ukrainian National Security Agency was hit. President Zelensky called for accelerating the development of high-speed interception drones and integrating multi-layered defenses. It is estimated that it will take up to six months to establish effective countermeasures capabilities.
