Ryanair has produced a league table of the nations with the worst performing air traffic control in Europe, as it derides a system described as ‘broken’ as a result of what it what it sees as a failure to be properly staffed and efficiently managed.

In addition, the airline has repeated its call for Martin Rolfe, the UK’s ATC chief, to step down following a brief, but disruptive, outage in the week.

The airline has long campaigned for EU reform to ensure ATC providers are fully staffed and has called on passengers to visit the ‘Air Traffic Control Ruined Your Flight’ webpage and demand that national Transport Ministers and the EU Commission take ‘urgent action’.

Yet, neither the EU Commission nor national Transport Ministers responsible for these failing ATC services have taken any action to fix Europe’s broken ATC services”.
