Today (Thursday 14 November 2024) Karen Dee, chief executive of AirportsUK, the trade body for UK airports, said regarding the final report on the NATS outage of August 2023:
“As the report makes clear, this outage had the biggest impact on aviation operations since the 2010 Icelandic volcanic eruption.
“It is therefore a testament to how hard airports worked in the days that followed to return operations to normal as quickly as possible.
“Airports will continue to keep all of their procedures under review, as they do at all times to ensure they serve passengers well and provide them with the most positive travel experience.
“We’ll also continue to work with the whole aviation sector so that incidents such as this are minimised in future.”
