IT failure at ANSL suspends flights at Edinburgh Airport; operations later resume

Flights at Edinburgh Airport were suspended on Dec. 5 after an IT issue at its air traffic control provider, ANSL, halted ATC services. Because Edinburgh's ATC is operated by ANSL rather than NATS the disruption was limited to EDI; operations later resumed the same day.

Rare solar flare pushed radiation at flight altitudes to 20‑year high — potential risk to pregnant fliers A rare solar flare briefly elevated radiation at typical commercial cruise altitudes to levels not seen in two decades, producing dose rates that could pose a potential health risk for pregnant passengers. Airlines and regulators should assess exposure on affected flights and consider targeted mitigations.

Vilnius Airport reopens after brief closure caused by suspected balloons Vilnius Airport briefly suspended operations on Wednesday after suspected balloons were detected in its airspace and reopened once authorities cleared the field. The closure is the latest in a series of balloon incursions this year that have repeatedly disrupted flights and raised regional security concerns.

FAA launches AAM pilot program to gather eVTOL flight‑test data to shape operations and infrastructure rules The FAA has launched an Advanced Air Mobility pilot program inviting governments and industry to conduct coordinated eVTOL flight tests and share operational data. That flight‑test dataset will be used to shape forthcoming rules on piloted and unmanned eVTOL operations, airspace integration and vertiport/ground infrastructure.
