Businesses, regardless of size or industry, can face unexpected challenges that disrupt operations. Today, this was evident in the UK's air traffic control system issue that caused flight delays and chaos for thousands of travelers. The cause was identified as manual processing of flight plans instead of the usual automated system. External factors, such as legal challenges and political tensions, were also highlighted as contributing to other issues, including the UK's ongoing efforts to manage immigration and the plight of Afghans who worked for the British Army and are still stranded in Afghanistan. These incidents underscore the importance of having contingency plans and support systems in place to help businesses navigate unexpected challenges and continue to operate effectively.
