Ryanair boss calls air traffic chaos report rubbish
The boss of Ryanair has slammed a report on the flights chaos seen over the bank holiday as "Rubbish". The UK's air traffic control system was brought down in a "One in 15 million" event, the head of National Air Traffic Services said on Wednesday. In its initial report published on Wednesday, Nats said that at 08:32 on 28 August, its system received details of a flight which was due to cross UK airspace later that day. "We were in the situation where we had thousands of flights in the air and we received a piece of data which our systems could not process. The Nats report also cites Eurocontrol data as showing 5,592 flights operated in UK airspace on 28 August, 2,000 fewer than had been expected.
