National Air Traffic Control Services has admitted that computer bugs plaguing the development of a new control centre may mean that project deadlines will be missed.
According to a BBC report, technicians working on the system at the Hampshire centre, have reduced the number of bugs from 500 to 200 in recent weeks, but centre managers admited it could still be bug ridden by its December deadline.
The centre, which will control most of the air traffic over England, is due to open in January 2002 - six years behind schedule. But the computer system needs to be operational by December to allow a year to train air traffic control staff.
The project was due to open in 1996 at a cost of £350m. But constant delays have seen operational costs spiral to £623m.
