A software defect lasting only a fraction of a second triggered widespread flight cancellations that disrupted air travel for hundreds of thousands of passengers, according to a report cited by the BBC.

The report found that the failure led to more than 2,000 flights being cancelled, causing significant disruption for travellers, the BBC said.

According to the findings, the root cause was traced to a "millisecond" software defect, though the report did not detail the exact technical mechanism that triggered the wider system failure, based on available reporting.

The scale of the disruption meant hundreds of thousands of passengers were affected, with many flights grounded as a result of the fault, the report noted.

Further details on the parties responsible for the affected systems, the precise timeline of events, and any corrective measures being taken have not yet been fully disclosed in the available reporting.

The BBC has been approached for additional comment on the findings of the report.
