Mistakes are said to be made by subcontractor employees during maintenance work.<\/p>\n
On the 11th, it was revealed that one data file was damaged during maintenance work by an employee of a subcontractor, causing a computer error that caused a ‘complete suspension of air operations’ across the United States.<\/p>\n
This employee did not follow established procedures regarding remuneration.<\/p>\n
Authorities are investigating whether this was a singular mistake on the part of the staff or whether it was intentional.<\/p>\n
Currently, the national system is operating normally. Flights canceled on the 12th accounted for less than 1%.<\/p>\n
After the accident occurred on the night of the 10th, the computer system of NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions), a safety notification system sent by the Aviation Administration to pilots, stopped working.<\/p>\n
The Notam system informs various safety-related information that aircraft may encounter at airports or routes. It contains information of various types and contents, from bird movements to runway construction.<\/p>\n
Accordingly, the Aviation Administration suspended all take-offs across the country for 90 minutes at 7:00 am on the 11th. This resulted in over 10,000 domestic flights significantly delayed or cancelled.<\/p>\n
The Notam system was installed 30 years ago in 1993 and there are no plans to improve it for the next six years.<\/p>\n
Some of the systems have not been serviced in the 30 years since their initial installation.<\/p>\n
At the end of last year, Southwest Airlines caused chaos when it canceled many flights due to a computer malfunction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
