Good morning. It's and it's the daily rent. I'm not going to rent on this one too much, but Edinburgh Airport grounds all flights follow the air traffic controlled failure. No flights are currently departing or arriving at Edinburgh Airport, Scotland where teams work to resolve the technical fault. Edinburgh Airport, where Scotland meets the world. Edinburgh Airport are suspended all flights operations due to an IT issue affecting its air

traffic control provider a CONTO. A statement issued on Friday morning, no flights are currently departed or arriving. Officials said their attempting to fix a problem as soon as possible. The airport advised passengers to check directly with the airlines for their latest information on flights. Further updates and information available stay read. Due to an I issue without air traffic control provider know flights are currently are playing from Edinburgh Airport.

Teams are working on the issue. We resolved this is I as possible. Provide updates when possible. Please contact your airline now. The only take I've gotten that one is with all these problems we've got in the world, don't you think your it system for air traffic should be the best at the robust, the absolute, you know, hunting out of all hunting. As Okay, it might be an IT failure this time, but a cyber attack is increasingly,

you know, happening. You know, it's happening all over the world, cyber attacks, and I think the US has recently, yeah, it's picked a company called Periton to oversee the United States air traffic control system with the FAA. So, and only a couple of days ago there's an article about air traffic controlling Europe that's not that brilliant, which don't

give you much hope, does it? For flying? It basically went on to say that they prefer the automation of air traffic in I can't find the article in Europe rather than the actual people doing it themselves. I think planes are automatic, aren't they as well? But there's nothing wrong with a good old pilot trying to land the plane when all this automation fails. So cyber attacks versus air traffic control, versus giving up your ID, your face

recognition and all that stuff. So anyway, just quickly Europe says your bets on automation to improve air traffic capacity and safety. The authors of the up In Air Traffic Management master Plan have given themselves twenty years to increase the level automation on which controllers rely. In Europe, where lingering capacity issues have stiff stiff led air traffic management. The beteses of such computerization may first, I guess you

know everything's gonna be automatic. We're gonna have robots everywhere, and so on and so on. Thanks for joining this little brant about the Edinburgh Airport on the aviation system. Don't forget to late show and comment, and if you can subscribing you to please they have a good day and I'll be back very shortly.
