What we don't know

Open questions are tracked here until evidence answers them. The Truism never fills a gap with an assumption.

  • What specific technical error caused the air traffic control system glitch?
  • Whether NATS chief executive Martin Rolfe will step down or face termination.
  • The date from which the one-week deadline runs and the precise submission deadline.
  • Which airlines called for Martin Rolfe to resign and their exact stated position.
  • The source, time period and geographic scope for the figure of more than 2,000 cancellations.
  • The underlying source materials are identified only by outlet names, so their wording and evidentiary support cannot be checked from the supplied material.
