Head of UK air traffic control The firm has been called for a meeting with Transport secretary Thousands of tens of summer holidays facing grounded flights on Wednesday after a mistake.
Passengers were stranded all over Europe During the extreme holiday season when the aircraft were canceled and diverted-due to some-20 minutes of mess to return to their departure cities to move around the middle-host.
And Heidi Alexander has said a necessary meeting To discuss his handling of chaos with Martin Rolph, the boss of National Air Traffic Services (NATS).
Ms. Alexander said that the meeting would “help to understand what happened and how we can stop rebirth”.
It comes after Heathro, GatvicLondon City, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Manchester Airports were among the airports that excluded many aircraft and flight crew from the situation.
The take-off for thousands of passengers was canceled as the inbound flights were back.
In some cases, passengers were held on the aircraft on the Turmac, when their flight could not stop.
The disintegration, which began after 4 pm on Wednesday, was below for a “technical issue” at the control center of the ATC provider nut in Swanvik, Hampshire, the company said. It is understood that the NATS systems were down for about 20 minutes, the company forgives all the people affected by the issue.
Flight analytics experts Syrium said by 5.30 pm, and 80 flights from the UK were canceled.
Government sources suggested that Ms. Alexander would not ask Mr. Rolf to resign, one saying that the officials were concerned, but the disruption was limited and flights had become largely normal by the end of the day.
But Ryanier immediately called Shri Rolf to resign on the chaos caused by failure.
Chief Commercial Officer Neil McMahon said that he should leave and if he does not, Ms. Alexander should remove her from her post.
He said: “It is derogatory that the passengers are once again being killed with delay and disruption due to the continuous mismanagement of Martin Rolph’s nut.
“However, the failure of another ATC system has resulted in the closure of the UK airspace, which means that the travel plans of thousands of passengers have been disrupted. It is clear that no lesson has been learned since August 2023 NATS system outage, and passengers continue to suffer as a result of Martin Rolph’s inconvenience.”
The airline stated that Mr. Rolf “is out of his depth and should step on one side to make way for someone who can work properly”.
Business minister Gareth thomas On Thursday, it was asked whether Mr. Rolf would be “removed” on the incident.
He told Times Radio: “Transport Secretary is calling the Chief Executive Officer of NETS to help us go wrong tomorrow.
“Clearly, an incident took place two years ago and then measures were taken.
“It seems that those measures were not enough, but we need to go to the bottom of what exactly happened, and today there will be talks.”
A former industry head has said that expecting the air traffic management system is “unrealistic” where there is no technical failure.
“If you look at the minutes of the outage over the years period of BBC Radio 4, former Director General of Air Traffic Management Industry Association Canso, Graham Lake told the BBC Radio 4 program, your availability – system availability – is very good, very good, so, I think it is unrealing to expect a system where you have no technical failure.”
He said: “Yesterday the failure was small and sweet, if you wanted, the recovery was early – the aircraft were working very quickly, very quickly.”
And Liberal democrat Leader Sir Ed Davi called for an immediate investigation into the NATS to ensure that the system is fit for purpose.
