10:58 AM EDT, 09/25/2026 (MT Newswires) -- The UK Civil Aviation Authority laid out the scope of its independent review into the air traffic control technical incident that disrupted British airspace on Sept. 8. The authority said Friday it will assess the UK National Air Traffic Services' preliminary report on the causes of disruption, evaluate the impact on consumers, and identify further actions needed to bolster confidence in the resilience of the country's air traffic management system. The independent review will also take into account other similar incidents, including one that occurred on Monday. The review follows a request by the UK Secretary of State for Transport Heidi Alexander.
