Every airport in London, except London City airport (which is so small we don't even need to talk about) is on the outskirts. So what do you mean they won't be affected? [/quote
I was just making an observation that since airports are on the outskirts then air traffic should be allowed to land, instead of being diverted, if the airports were located in london, then maybe it would be a bit more of a problem, IDK, Just looking at the story. I think your disecting my post a bit to much, lol no conspiracy there

Sky news are saying the fault was with a "failure of the flight planning server."
Server?
Like a network server?
Potential hack maybe?
They say their systems are totally secure,but then so do banks,hospitals,power stations-and many of them have been hacked.
No system is 100% secure,especially once you add humans to the system,who can be bribed/threatened into giving up passwords/encryption keys etc.
Heathrow airport have said the failure was due to a power outage, resulting in the entire capital city being affected.
"Flights are currently experiencing delays due to a power outage at NATS control centre affecting UK airspace. Further updates to follow.
