UK air traffic outage caused by a labeling issue.
Per The Guardian:
Nats said the failure was due to “an extremely rare set of circumstances” with two identically named but separate waypoint markers outside the UK’s airspace – a scenario that has not occurred in more than 15m flight plans previously processed in the five years that the current system has operated.
The failure caused chaos last week with more than 2,000 canceled flights.
