The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) said the three-year-old P11-billion Air Traffic Management (ATM) system and backup, which both failed on New Year's Day 2023, stranded hundreds of flights and thousands of passengers.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines , in a statement issued Tuesday, Jan. 2, said the three-year old P11-billion Air Traffic Management system plus the backup, which both failed on New Year’s Day 2023, stranding hundreds of flights and thousands of passengers, is “already behind when it was first used in 2019.”
The incident that resulted in the loss of power in the system was due to a problem in the system’s electrical network, with its uninterruptible power supply , which is to be used as backup power supply, also failing, the CAAP conceded. The CNS/ATM system provides various computer-aided safety measures in Air Traffic Control , and enhances safety through reduction of controller/pilot workloads and human errors.
