Richard Deacon, Internet-Based Aviation Systems
NATS CEO Richard Deacon addressed the London air traffic failure, citing a software problem within 4 million lines of code written in the 1990s. He announced a 575 million pound investment to transition to "internet-based systems" for greater resilience. Critics warn that moving critical aviation infrastructure to the internet increases vulnerability to hacking and cyberattacks.
