Second UK Air Traffic Glitch in Two Weeks Sparks Renewed Calls for NATS Leadership to Resign
A connectivity failure at the Prestwick air traffic control centre on September 21 caused the cancellation of at least 200 flights across the UK, marking the second major disruption in two weeks. Airlines and the government are demanding accountability, with Ryanair and Wizz Air calling for the resignation of NATS chief Martin Rolfe. The Civil Aviation Authority has ruled that passengers are unlikely to receive compensation due to 'extraordinary circumstances.'
