This led to the cancellation of more than 150 flights on Wednesday and more than thousands of people.

Easyjet said that the error is “extremely disappointing”, while one of Ryanir’s bosses Nats General Manager Martin Rolfe called for resignation.

According to NATS, the problem was “about radar” and reduced flight traffic to provide security. He added that there is no evidence that the incident was cyber -related.

The government said that he was “working closely” with NATS to understand what’s going wrong.

Ryanir manager Neal McMahon said, “Passengers were once again shot with delays and disruptions due to Martin Rolfe’s continuous bad management of Nats.”

McMahon referred to a previous incident two years ago, this was not learned “lessons” and passengers continue to “suffer” as a result of Mr. Rolfe’s “inadequacy”.

In August 2023, more than 700,000 passengers were influenced by the cancellation of more than 500 flights at the UK’s most intense airports due to a large deduction.

“A ATC failure is extremely disappointed to see that a ATC failure causes interruption to our customers at these intense and important times,” David Morgan, Easyjet’s Chief Operation Officer.

“We will want to understand which steps they have taken to ensure that the problems from NATS do not continue.”
