A total of 80 flights, both domestic and international, were delayed due to a computer glitch that affected the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Air Traffic Management Center (ATMC) computer system Tuesday morning.
The programming bug which is not disclosed by CAAP for security reasons resulted in reduced arrival and departure rate of aircrafts for about 30 minutes as ATMC personnel scrambled to manually guide aircraft for arrival and take-off.
CAAP Director General Jim Sydiongco said the incident prompted the activation of contingency standard procedures, which is done manually to space out flight sequences in order to maintain safe separation of air traffic at Manila Airspace.
