The UK’s air traffic control system is the worst in Europe, the boss of Ryanair has claimed Michael O’Leary made the comment as he launched a tirade calling for National Air Traffic Services chief executive Martin Rolfe to be sacked.
The ATC provider has also repeatedly suffered problems at Gatwick, which it attributed to staff shortages in the control tower. He accused Mr Rolfe of “piss poor performance”, and claimed he is “incompetent and should be sacked”.Mr O’Leary suggested that Nats “isn’t understaffed”, but employs many controllers who “just don’t show up to work.”.
On Monday, Nats said 30% of its Gatwick control tower staff were unavailable for “a variety of medical reasons including Covid”, leading to the airport capping the number of flights that can operate.
