Nats Glitch Grounds 1300 Flights | Leicester News

A major UK air traffic meltdown this week grounded over 1,300 flights as a Nats technical glitch triggered chaos across Heathrow, Gatwick, and Manchester, stranding tens of thousands. Ryanair canceled 250 flights—impacting 65,000 passengers—and is bracing for millions in costs, while British Airways saw over 100 flights disrupted. Ryanair’s boss demands Nats CEO Martin Rolfe step down, citing repeated failures and lack of accountability. Rolfe apologized, confirmed systems are restored, and pledged an investigation—excluding cyberattack—despite heavy tech investment. The fallout continues as airlines scramble and travelers fight to recover.
