Nats says that the failure was triggered by a single piece of data in a flight plan that was wrongly input to its system by an unnamed airline.

It will be fascinating as the details of this emerge.

Who would have thought that validating your inputs would be a good idea? /S

This is so relevant to an issue I’m having. It turns out a spelling mistake caused all my API calls not to quote the services needed. So basically thousands of dollars thrown away because I fucked up.

But… why is their API not raising when I send unknown data? Sounds very susceptible to hacking. And of course when I press the issue I get ignored. I hate this industry (shipping).
