Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary (pictured) has urged Martin Rolfe, chief executive of National Air Traffic Services, to resign
Ryanair’s chief executive has again called for the resignation of the company’s head in charge of air traffic control.
Michael O’Leary has urged Martin Rolfe, chief executive of the National Air Traffic Services (Nats), to resign.
The budget airline’s chief executive said Rolfe should step aside and “allow someone competent” to take over after flights were disrupted at Gatwick Airport on Sunday due to “staff shortages at the Nats”.
O’Leary has repeatedly criticised Rolfe, in particular over widespread disruption at airports on the August Bank Holiday Monday last year, which was caused by a Nats technical fault.
Analysis of data from flight tracking website Flightradar24 shows that 49 departures and 51 arrivals were cancelled.
