Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has renewed his call for the resignation of the chief executive of air traffic control (ATC) provider Nats after dozens of flights were cancelled at Gatwick Airport
Ryanair 's boss, Michael O'Leary, has renewed his calls for the resignation of Martin Rolfe, the chief executive of air traffic control provider Nats. Mr O'Leary is urging Mr Rolfe to step aside and "allow someone competent" to take over following flight disruptions at Gatwick Airport on Sunday due to "Nats staff shortages".
Nats has previously stated it is "working in line" with a staffing plan agreed with Gatwick bosses when it took over the provision of ATC services at the airport in October 2022, which includes training additional controllers, reports Bristol Live. A Gatwick spokeswoman highlighted that Nats has "successfully increased the number of air traffic controllers over recent months".
