Speaker 1: Good morning. It's and it's the daily rent. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to rent on this one too much, but Edinburgh
Speaker 1: Airport grounds all flights follow the air traffic controlled failure.
Speaker 1: No flights are currently departing or arriving at Edinburgh Airport,
Speaker 1: Scotland where teams work to resolve the technical fault. Edinburgh Airport,
Speaker 1: where Scotland meets the world. Edinburgh Airport are suspended all
Speaker 1: flights operations due to an IT issue affecting its air
Speaker 1: traffic control provider a CONTO. A statement issued on Friday morning,
Speaker 1: no flights are currently departed or arriving. Officials said their
Speaker 1: attempting to fix a problem as soon as possible. The
Speaker 1: airport advised passengers to check directly with the airlines for
Speaker 1: their latest information on flights. Further updates and information available
Speaker 1: stay read. Due to an I issue without air traffic
Speaker 1: control provider know flights are currently are playing from Edinburgh Airport.
Speaker 1: Teams are working on the issue. We resolved this is
Speaker 1: I as possible. Provide updates when possible. Please contact your
Speaker 1: airline now. The only take I've gotten that one is
Speaker 1: with all these problems we've got in the world, don't
Speaker 1: you think your it system for air traffic should be
Speaker 1: the best at the robust, the absolute, you know, hunting
Speaker 1: out of all hunting. As Okay, it might be an
Speaker 1: IT failure this time, but a cyber attack is increasingly,
Speaker 1: you know, happening. You know, it's happening all over the world,
Speaker 1: cyber attacks, and I think the US has recently, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's picked a company called Periton to oversee the United
Speaker 1: States air traffic control system with the FAA. So, and
Speaker 1: only a couple of days ago there's an article about
Speaker 1: air traffic controlling Europe that's not that brilliant, which don't
Speaker 1: give you much hope, does it? For flying? It basically
Speaker 1: went on to say that they prefer the automation of
Speaker 1: air traffic in I can't find the article in Europe
Speaker 1: rather than the actual people doing it themselves. I think
Speaker 1: planes are automatic, aren't they as well? But there's nothing
Speaker 1: wrong with a good old pilot trying to land the
Speaker 1: plane when all this automation fails. So cyber attacks versus
Speaker 1: air traffic control, versus giving up your ID, your face
Speaker 1: recognition and all that stuff. So anyway, just quickly Europe
Speaker 1: says your bets on automation to improve air traffic capacity
Speaker 1: and safety. The authors of the up In Air Traffic
Speaker 1: Management master Plan have given themselves twenty years to increase
Speaker 1: the level automation on which controllers rely. In Europe, where
Speaker 1: lingering capacity issues have stiff stiff led air traffic management.
Speaker 1: The beteses of such computerization may first, I guess you
Speaker 1: know everything's gonna be automatic. We're gonna have robots everywhere,
Speaker 1: and so on and so on. Thanks for joining this
Speaker 1: little brant about the Edinburgh Airport on the aviation system.
Speaker 1: Don't forget to late show and comment, and if you
Speaker 1: can subscribing you to please they have a good day
Speaker 1: and I'll be back very shortly.
