That would have grounded only the plane with the flight plan that the UK system could not process.
Still a bug but with less effects to all the continent, because planes that could not get inside or outside the UK could not fly and that affected all of Europe and possibly more.

By the looks of it, it was few hours in the air by the time the system had a breakdown. Considering it didn't know what the problem was, it seems appropriate that it shut down. No planes collided, so the worst didn't happen.
- pmontra 3y agoCouldn't the outcome be "access to the UK airspace denied" only for that flight? It would have checked with an ATC and possibly landed somewhere before approaching the UK. In the case of a problem with all flights, the outcome would have been the same they eventually had. Of course I have no idea if that would be a reasonable failure mode.
