UK Air Traffic Control Faces Back-to-Back Failures Amid Growing Calls for Leadership Change
UK air traffic provider Nats experienced a second major technical failure in two weeks, causing over 200 flight cancellations and significant delays. While the first incident in September involved a software flaw, the latest issue at the Prestwick centre was attributed to a connectivity problem. Airlines and passengers are demanding accountability, with Ryanair calling for the resignation of Nats chief executive Martin Rolfe. The government has commissioned an independent review by the Civil Aviation Authority, but no immediate leadership changes are expected.
