Airlines Criticize NATS Over Second Major Air Traffic Control Disruption

Airline operators are criticizing National Air Traffic Services (NATS) following a second significant air traffic control incident in two weeks, causing widespread flight disruptions across the UK. Ryanair has demanded the resignation of NATS chief executive Martin Rolfe after reporting over 140 delayed flights and more than 25,000 disrupted passengers due to repeated system failures. The technical issues have affected airports throughout Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England, and other regions, leaving travelers like Nicole McCloskey stranded before reaching their destinations in Paris or Disneyland.
