We can avoid flight chaos in future, says air traffic boss

PA Media

By Katy Austin & Sam Hancock

BBC News

The flight chaos caused by a data processing glitch should not happen again, the head of National Air Traffic Services has said.

Martin Rolfe told the BBC that measures were in place to protect against the “incredibly rare” system failure which has left hundreds of flights cancelled.

“If that happens again, we can resolve it very, very quickly,” he said.

Thousands of passengers faced a nightmare Bank Holiday Monday, with many left stuck abroad and in the UK.

Some people slept on airport floors or in makeshift beds, while many scrambled to rebook flights.

Passengers reported being left out of pocket after arranging alternative transport and accommodation following the cancellation of more than 1,500 flights on Monday.

The delays and cancellations continued into Tuesday despite the air traffic control issue being fixed as the disruption had left planes and pilots out of place.

Nats controls most aircraft in UK airspace and receives millions of flight plans every year.

Airlines submit every flight path to the national control centre and these should automatically be shared with Nats controllers.

But on Monday, Nats received data that it could not process.

Mr Rolfe said the system was designed to “fail safely” if this happened, to make sure erroneous information could not be passed on to air traffic controllers.

This caused Nats to revert to a manual system – meaning fewer flights could be handled. For several hours they had to manually input flight routes, rather than it happen automatically, which was slower and caused a huge backlog.

Mr Rolfe apologised to those affected, insisting he was confident the situation would not arise in the same way again.

What are my rights if my flight is cancelled or delayed?

“We understand the way the system didn’t handle the data… the way it failed, if you like,” he said.

He added that procedures had already been put in place to make sure the error could be solved quickly were it to arise again.

Nats remedied the fault around three hours after announcing it just before midday on Monday, but widespread disruption had already occurred in that time.

The incident will be investigated by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Nats has confirmed there were no signs the failure was caused by a cyber-attack.

Tim Jeans, a former director of Ryanair and Monarch Airlines and chair of Newquay Airport until 2021, said regulations meant that people would entitled to claim expenses incurred from airlines and tour operators, including for accommodation, as a result of flights being cancelled.

He said the data glitch was “certainly perplexing” and added it was “very concerning that one piece of flight data can bring down the whole system”.

He said airlines pay hundreds of millions of pounds per year to Nats for the service and would be “rightly asking” questions over the system.

After chairing a meeting between Nats, the CAA, airlines, airports, trade bodies and Border Force, Transport Secretary Mark Harper said on Tuesday that knock-on effects of the disruption were likely to continue over the coming days.

He advised anyone due to travel in that time to check with airlines before heading to the airport.

In its latest statement, EasyJet offered to put on extra flights to help bring people back to the UK. The boss of Ryanair, meanwhile, said it had had to cancel about 250 flights already, affecting around 40,000 passengers.

One such passenger, Sarah Skellern, told BBC News she and her family were forced to sleep on the floor of Palma de Mallorca Airport, Spain, after waiting on a Jet2 aircraft for six hours before it was cancelled.

Mrs Skellern, from near Preston, Lancashire, described “absolute chaos” at Palma de Mallorca Airport. She and her family eventually got a flight home the next day.

Jonny Beattie was due to fly back from Faro in Portugal to Belfast with his family on Monday, but now is unable to get a flight until next Monday, which means his children are missing the start of the school year.

He said he received a phone notification from easyJet when he and his family arrived at the airport to say their flight was delayed, before being told it was cancelled.

“You could see everybody went [to] panic stations,” he said. “Some people were already checking flights and we could see we couldn’t get any flights until next Monday.

Mr Beattie said he managed to rebook the accommodation that they had just left, but added it was going to cost him just under £1,000.

“My wife was due to go back to work on Wednesday, my kids were supposed to be starting back at school but there’s been no further communication from easyJet at all,” he added.

Analysis of flight data websites showed at least 281 flights – including departures and arrivals – were cancelled on Tuesday at the UK’s six busiest airports.

This consisted of 75 at Gatwick, 74 at Heathrow, 63 at Manchester, 28 at Stansted, 23 at Luton and 18 at Edinburgh.

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮 – 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧?

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐬 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐘𝐨𝐮 – 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐠𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧? https://ptolemay.com/.../apps-are-tracking-you-whats.../

This topic of apps tracking and collecting users’ data has not arisen in the recent period but has been a rather major debating issue since the technology developed and started reaching the hands of millions around the globe. While using an application on your mobile device its system is mostly programmed to track each move and collect some valuable information about you and your behavior to then use it for different purposes.

Yes, this might sound a bit creepy and even scary but most apps that collect data do not really use it against you or to harm you. On the contrary, your data is collected by apps and mostly sold to third parties by which apps generate income. The third parties might include advertisers to offer you goods and services that you are most likely to purchase but the data is also considered to be sold to the government. Now let’s see how apps collect data, why so, and how you can prevent that!

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐃𝐨 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚?

Any apps that you install and use on your mobile devices collect some sort of data about you. This is done when you use their apps and interact with what the app has to offer, be it games, educational materials, fitness apps, social media, etc.

The most common way that you are tracked is for example when you see the ‘Cookies’ on a website and you agree to accept them and when companies put special files and algorithms in apps that are doing most of the job for them.

Companies that sell goods for example may track every item you’ve selected, put in your cart, bought/not bought, what goods you searched for, etc. They will track your purchasing pattern and use it to then offer you a more customized user experience that will probably result in more of your purchases and more profit to the brand. Every time you connect to the company and their app you should be aware that all your moves are being gathered. This is very important to companies and it is considered to be working successfully as well.

It is crucial for companies to track their consumers’ data and offer them relevant goods/services. They are also tracking your location through your mobile device that will allow them to, let’s say, recommend stores near you and offer products/services available in your region. Companies are spending a fortune on advertising, while they might be targeting the wrong groups of people. When particular algorithms track and collect users’ data it lets companies save a huge amount on advertising and offer their consumers what they are more likely to purchase.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐃𝐨 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐬 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐲 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚?

As I see it there are two major reasons why apps are collecting users’ data:

1. To offer a better experience and in some cases increase sales

2. To sell it to third parties.

So, in the first case, apps are gathering your data, behavior, location, information to offer you a better experience while using the app and in a way ‘force’ you to buy or spend more as they offer you a customizable experience. This means that after your data is tracked, algorithms can understand your behavior and make conclusions and predictions about what you are more likely to spend your money on. Consequently, apps will only demonstrate to you those products/services that are most suitable for you (as the algorithms predicted) and there will be a bigger chance that you will give the company more money!

In the second case, apps are tracking and collecting your information to sell it to third parties, such as advertisers, Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple, etc. As most of the apps in the Apple Apps Store and Google Play are free, they have to find a way to generate profit. Tracking and selling user data is one of the very common ways to do so. Apps will track your purchase history, your interests, preferences, usage durations, location, usage times, and many more. All these data are collected by so many apps and sold to giant companies.

When the bigger companies such as Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple get their hands on the data of millions of users around the globe they use it to offer and recommend targeted ads, friend suggestions, pages, websites, blogs, from which they are making money as well. While they also have access to your location, they will be presenting you ads available near you that will also increase the chance of you spending more money!

𝐏𝐭𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐋𝐢𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧

Ptolemay takes this issue very seriously and we are taking the following actions to prevent third parties from tracking users’ info, hacking into the app, or even gathering users’ data:

o Ptolemay keeps all data on the servers that were built custom.

o Ptolemay builds servers only on reliable and trusted cloud infrastructure providers (Digital Ocean, AWS).

o Safe Code. Ptolemay does not store critically important data in code that allows the application to be hacked by decompiling.

o Ptolemay uses reliable encryption algorithms.

o Ptolemay uses refresh tokens. We update the keys to reduce the likelihood of hacking.

Securing users’ data is Ptolemay’s priority and our developers are professionals and experienced in ensuring safe storage of valuable data.

𝐖𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 (𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭)

According to some statistics, the top three apps that know the most about their users include Facebook, Instagram, and Tinder. The data they collect can be anything like your location, personal data, phone numbers, financial info, biometrics, browsing history, education info, photos, recorded payments, transactions, etc.

These apps collect most of your data and here are the % of users’ personal data they possess: Facebook(70%), Instagram(58.82%), Tinder(55.88%), Grindr(52.94%), Uber(52.94%), Strava(41.18%), Tesco(38.24%), Spotify(35.29%), MyFitnessPal(35.29%), Jet2(35.29%)

𝐖𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠

There are so many apps that have been tracking users’ data already for a long time but it doesn’t seem that everyone cares about it. I see it as there are two groups of people: those who do not care if apps track data and those who do not want valuable data to be collected by apps and sold to third parties. I believe many people do not show much concern for this as it doesn’t harm them in any way and sometimes even improves user experience. I also believe that as long as apps do not track really valuable data or personal information that may result in court trials, I think it may not bother many users.

However, many want to take action to prevent apps from collecting information about them. Here’s how to prevent apps tracking data on iPhone and Android:

𝐢𝐏𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐞: When iOS 14.5 came out the biggest hit was the new “App Tracking Transparency” feature that was introduced. This feature allows you to decide if you want apps to track your data or not. This eventually means that if you choose to not allow apps to track data you will not be shown targeted ads based on collected information, your location, e-mail address, phone number, and other data will not be shared with third parties or data brokers.

In order to activate this feature, you can go to Settings > Privacy > Tracking and enable the feature. With this, apps will ask you to allow or not allow tracking, and by clicking ‘don’t allow’ your data will not be shared!

𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐢𝐝: Android doesn’t yet have such an easy feature of not allowing apps to track data as the new iOS 14.5 but there is still a lot you can do. When you first download an app or open one for the first time, it might ask you permission to allow access to different things on your phone, be it your contacts, camera, microphone, calls, etc. You can easily tap do not allow and your data will be safe. If you want to check if other apps have permission to some data, you can follow these steps (might vary by phone): Settings > Apps (Application Manager) > Choose an app > Permission > Turn off the points you do not want the app to access! Or users can head to Security Settings > App Permissions and see what apps access what data and adjust those!

𝐒𝐨, 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭’𝐬 𝐆𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐧?

So, looking at today’s image, I can tell you for sure that there are tons of apps that gather information about you and use it for different purposes. You might not care about it if this doesn’t actually harm you (which mostly doesn’t), but you might be worried or skeptical and you can in some ways control your data from being accessed. Overall, you might want to look over the permissions that you give to apps that you install so that they do not track some personal data of yours but if you are using apps that Ptolemay has developed, you do not have much to worry about.

New Post has been published on https://freenews.today/2021/04/24/portugal-expat-shares-large-impact-of-covid-brexit-on-entire-nation-not-just-algarve/

Portugal expat shares 'large impact' of Covid & Brexit on entire nation 'not just Algarve'

Portugal is a popular destination for Britons, whether it is for a weekly summer holiday or something a little more long-term, such as purchasing property or even relocating to the nation. In the last year, the nation has seen a dramatic drop in tourist foot traffic due to the ongoing coronavirus restrictions.

Concerns over a loss of visitors from the UK was then furthered by new rules which came into effect for Britons living in Portugal following the UK’s EU departure on December 31, 2020.

One person who has witnessed the transition firsthand is Tori Porter.

She has lived with her family in Portugal for approximately 11 years.

The fitness and wellbeing communications expert spoke with Express.co.uk alongside her mother-in-law, Agnes Kijonka, CEO of A1 Algarve Real Estate, to describe the “large impact” the tandem rules of COVID-19 and Brexit have had on the nation.

“The Algarve’s economy, in particular, is hugely dependent on tourism, but it hasn’t just been the Algarve that has been badly affected but the whole of Portugal,” explained Ms Kijonka.

“Portugal is also a huge destination for homeowners, however, most choose to be residents in the UK, therefore Brexit will have a large impact on the economy as homeowners unless a new visa comes in to support this. [They] will be limited to 90 days for every 180.

“Until now there are the D2 and D7 visa and Golden Visa as options for staying in the country for Brits.

“It is to be expected that the Portuguese government will come up with a strong solution as an alternative showing their commitment to the UK.”

Brexit has also caused some issues when it comes to ordering products from the UK.

As Ms Porter explained: “The only issue really was that since Brexit it was very difficult to order things from UK brands, which previously it was very easy to receive.”

Of course, there are ways around this for expats which boost the local economy.

“With this in mind, it’s about getting to know what your area has to offer instead.”

Despite the present concerns, Ms Kijonka is positive travel and distribution between the UK and Portugal will return with ease in due course, particularly due to the two nations’ longstanding “friendship”.

“There’s a perpetual historical friendship between the Kingdom of England and the Kingdom of Portugal which is the oldest alliance based on known history in the world that is still in force by politics with the earliest treaty dating back to the Anglo-Portuguese Treaty of 1373,” she explained.

“The English always like places that have great weather, and the weather is very reliable in Portugal.

“It’s also the same time zone and not too far away, so tourists can get the amazing weather without having to travel for a long time, which also makes travel more convenient and affordable.”

Restrictions are beginning to ease in Portugal as COVID-19 case rates decline and there are hopes travel between the two nations will resume.

Further to this, the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) has removed its travel advisory for Portugal.

Increasingly, experts are predicting Portugal will find its way onto the “green list” for travel once Prime Minister Boris Johnson gives holidays the go-ahead from May 17.

Ms Kijonka concluded: “The Portuguese are very eager to start up again.”

Other big names that did well in the poll, which was carried out by MoneySavingExpert.com (MSE), were Jet2 Holidays (4th), Booking.com (13th) and BA Holidays (6th).

MSE said it will now be reporting these findings to the Government's Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy as well as the Competition and Markets Authority and the Civil Aviation Authority.

Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, said: 'This is a tough time for the travel industry. It's one of the sectors worst hit by coronavirus, but it's a tough time for the public too, many of whom are also in dire straits. And they've been strident in telling us that they'll remember how firms dealt with them during this time – good and bad.

'People aren't just judging on whether firms failed to give a refund – though that plays a big part. Many poor ratings are also about difficulties in getting in touch, being given the runaround, and terrible management of expectations – such as Ryanair sending vouchers to those who'd specifically requested cash refunds.

'People shouldn't be annoyed with firms offering to move bookings or offering vouchers as refunds. Indeed I'd encourage those who don't need the cash to take them, especially from firms with solid financials, as it'll help keep the industry going and keep people in work.

Ryanair came 47th in the poll. Martin Lewis, founder of MoneySavingExpert.com, said: 'This is a tough time for the travel industry. It's one of the sectors worst hit by coronavirus, but it's a tough time for the public too'

'Yet when people are entitled to monetary refunds, to make them sit on phones on hold for hours, often getting cut off to get it, when vouchers are available at the click of a button leaves people feeling rightly riled.

'Sadly, out of the 53 companies rated, only 17 were net positive. Yet that means they should get even louder plaudits for trying to do it right.

'They're struggling, but are protecting customers too, and the likelihood is when this is all over, they'll come out stronger and with more brand loyalty because of it.'

MailOnline Travel asked Ryanair, TravelUp and Travel Trolley for a comment but did not receive a response.

Airbnb came third in the poll, which produced a ranking of firms each used by at least 100 respondents

FOUR QUICK TIPS TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK

The exact process to follow if your booking is cancelled and you want to get your money back will vary depending on the type of booking you have (flight, hotel, package holiday and so on).

Before asking for a cash refund, consider if you need one. At the moment, many firms are really struggling. This means it's safer to demand a refund rather than settle for a voucher, in case the firm collapses before you can use it. But it's also worth considering whether you're in a position to show forbearance.

Having said that, if you're sure that you do in your money back, here are a few brief tips to follow:

1. Speak to the firm first and use its refund system. Always start this way. Give it a chance, use its systems.

2. If that fails, warn it you'll take it further. If you can speak to the firm and it isn't helping, warn it you'll speak to your card firm. This costs firms and it's cheaper if they do it themselves, so give them the chance.

3. If the firm won't give you money back, ask your card provider. Speak to your card provider and ask it to do a chargeback – where it asks the firm's bank for the money.

4. If this doesn't work, your final action would be to take the legal route, perhaps through a county court.

Wayne Perks, Managing Director of Teletext Holidays, said in response to the survey result: 'Despite having to put the most of our UK team on furlough, and having halved the size of our operation in India, the remaining staff have been working non-stop with suppliers to cancel holidays and negotiate the waiving of any cancellation fees from them, as well as answering any communication we receive.

'We had to switch our phone lines off because the Indian government enforced a very strict lockdown in the cities where both our sales centres are located and we were unable to get staff into these offices. I can now advise that the restrictions are being eased and our sales centres are once again able to take calls, albeit at a reduced rate whilst social distancing is maintained. '

He added: 'When we book holidays for our customers, we immediately pay for the flights, and therefore do not retain any of this money within our business. In addition, Teletext Holidays often pays hotels in advance in order to get customers the best room rates.

'Teletext Holidays, therefore, acts as an agent and we are experiencing long delays in receiving monies back from airlines, with some telling us that we will not receive customers money until "the virus has passed".

'We have put in place a two-stage refund process, offering customers Atol protected refund credit notes which they can use up to December 31, 2020, for holidays travelling up to December 31, 2021. If they do not decide to take this option, we are offering full refunds from July 31, 2020.'

🔥Is it safe to travel to Tenerife? Latest advice for Spain amidst coronavirus outbreak🔥

The latest lifestyle, fashion and travel trends

Tenerife is one the latest areas to be affected by coronavirus, as over 1,000 guests of the 4-star H10 Costa Adeje Palace hotel are on lockdown.

On Tuesday, February 25, a hotel in the south of the Spanish island was placed into quarantine after an Italian doctor who was staying at the resort tested positive for Covid-19.

Health authorities in the Canary Islands have confirmed the case. The Italian national visiting the region is thought to be from Lombardy and holidaying with his wife.

Here is the latest travel information for Spain and Tenerife, amidst the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus.

(AP)

Is it safe to travel to Tenerife?

At this time, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) have yet to provide official travel safety guidelines for those visiting the region.

For those currently in Tenerife with questions and concerns, a helpline has been set up to offer immediate advice. You can call it on (+34) 900 112 061.

In accordance with advice issued by regional and Spanish government authorities, the four-star Costa Adeje Palace hotel has been placed in quarantine, following reports a guest has tested positive for coronavirus.

Holiday package firms like TUI and Jet2holidays are currently operating as normal, with their flying programme remaining unchanged.

In an official statement to PA, a spokesperson for Jet2 said: “We are aware of reports that a non-Jet2holidays customer staying at the H10 Costa Adeje Palace in Tenerife has tested positive for coronavirus.

“Under the advice of the regional and the Spanish government authorities, the hotel has been placed under quarantine.

“The health and safety of our customers is our absolute priority, and we will release more information as it becomes available.

“In line with the Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) advice, our flying programme remains unchanged.”

Meanwhile, a spokeswoman for Tui UK said: “We’re aware of a reported case of Covid-19 at the H10 Palace Hotel in Costa Adeje, Tenerife.

“All guests have been asked to remain in their rooms and are being looked after by the hotel.

“Our holiday programme to Tenerife continue to operate as planned for all other hotels.

“We will provide a further update as soon as we have more information.”

What are the symptoms of coronavirus?

According to the NHS, the main symptoms of Covid-19 include coughing, shortness of breath and having a high temperature.

Those with weakened immune systems, like the elderly or those with long-term conditions such as diabetes, cancer and chronic lung disease are more likely to suffer with these symptoms.

What measures and precautions should be taken?

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has issued an urgent appeal for the public to follow new self-isolation advice if returning from northern Italy, Iran and parts of South Korea.

In an official statement, he urged: “Every single person can do something to try to help this country avoid this virus becoming big and that is to wash your hands. If you sneeze to make sure you cover it up, catch it, kill it and bin it,” he stressed before updating the Cabinet on the crisis.

He dismissed calls for a ban on flights from countries hardest hit by Covid-19, describing such restrictions as a “Maginot Line”, referring to the huge French fortifications which failed to stop the German Second World War invasion.

Scientists believe swift quarantine action, rather than trying to rely on travel restrictions, are key to containing the virus.

The following precautions and steps should be taken to help avoid the spread of the disease:

– Carry tissues with you and use them to catch your cough or sneeze. Then you must bin the tissue, wash your hands and/or use sanitiser gel.

– Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after using public transport. Use sanitiser if soap and water not available.

– Don’t touch your eyes, nose and mouth with unwashed hands.

– Avoid close contact with people who are unwell.

– Follow the advice for self-quarantine if you have arrived back from China or other specified countries.

Is there a treatment for coronavirus?

As the virus is relatively new, there is not specific treatment for it at this time. The treatment currently available simply aims to allieviate symptoms.
