Heidi Alexander said on Tuesday she had also commissioned(委托、授权进行) an independent review by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA)(英国民航局，负责航空安全与监管) into the latest Nats meltdown(系统崩溃、瘫痪), which severely disrupted travel(扰乱出行) for hundreds of thousands of passengers.
海蒂·亚历山大周二表示，她还委托民航局（CAA）对Nats最新的系统崩溃展开独立审查。此次崩溃严重扰乱了数十万旅客的出行。
The comments will pile pressure on the Nats chief executive, Martin Rolfe, despite Downing Street saying the government still had confidence in him after a morning meeting with Alexander, and as the number of flight cancellations passed 2,000.(这些言论将给Nats首席执行官马丁·罗尔夫施加更大压力，尽管唐宁街在上午会面后表示政府仍对他抱有信心，而且此时航班取消数量已超过2000架次。)
