Ryanair’s O’Leary accuses UK air traffic control boss of lying over outage
Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary said NATS blamed the outage on a rogue flight plan, the same issue that caused major disruption in 2023.
DUBLIN: Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary, accused NATS's CEO, Martin Rolfe, of lying about the cause of a recent outage that resulted in numerous flight cancellations. O'Leary demanded Rolfe's resignation, rejecting NATS's claim that the issue stemmed from a rogue flight plan, similar to a similar incident in 2023. Rolfe had stated on BBC Radio that the latest outage appeared to be distinct from previous occurrences.
O'Leary dismissed this assertion, alleging that Rolfe was lying to protect his position. Following O'Leary's comments, NATS asserted that the outage was caused by a separate issue, but did not comment further on O'Leary's remarks.
