OVER 30M PASSENGERS DELAYED BY ATC MISMANAGEMENT & STAFF SHORTAGES IN 2025<\/p>\n

RYANAIR CALLS ON URSULA VON \u201cDERLAYED-AGAIN\u201d TO REFORM EU\u2019S BROKEN ATC OR QUIT!<\/p>\n

Ryanair, Europe\u2019s No.1 airline, today (Fri, 3 Oct) called on EU President, Ursula von \u201cDerlayed-Again\u201d to urgently reform the EU\u2019s broken ATC services or quit. This comes as Ryanair released its September \u201cATC Delays League\u201d, showing that France, Spain, Germany, the UK, and Greece are the worst ATCs for delays\/cancellations because their Govts refuse to ensure their ATC services are properly staffed and managed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There is no excuse for these worst ATC delays when Bulgaria, Slovakia, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark are delivering efficient ATC services (without mismanagement or staff shortages) and are responsible for the fewest ATC delays\/cancellations in Europe this year as a result.<\/p>\n

Ryanair has long called for EU ATC reform, but Ursula von \u201cDerlayed-Again\u201d ignores these repeated ATC delays\/cancellations, which have disrupted over 30m EU passengers so far this year. Ryanair is now calling on EU passengers to visit the \u2018Air Traffic Control Ruined Your Flight\u2019<\/a> webpage and demand that Ursula von \u201cDerlayed-Again\u201d take urgent action to reform the EU\u2019s broken ATC by (1) mandating that national ATC services are fully staffed for the first wave of morning flights or face fines, and (2) protecting overflights (and the Single Market) during national ATC strikes.<\/p>\n

Ryanair\u2019s Michael O\u2019Leary said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is inexcusable that Europe\u2019s worst performing ATCs in France, Spain, Germany, the UK, and Greece continue to inflict so many avoidable flight delays\/cancellations on millions of Ryanair passengers. EU airlines have already offered the solution to these avoidable ATC delays\/cancellations; (1) mandate that national ATC services are fully staffed for the first wave of morning flights or face fines, and (2) the EU Comm must act to protect overflights during national ATC strikes. Yet, EU President Ursula von \u201cDerlayed-Again\u201d sits in Brussels doing nothing to protect EU passengers or the Single Market for air travel.<\/p>\n

EU ATC needs reform. If Ursula von \u201cDerlayed-Again\u201d won\u2019t deliver it, then she should step aside and let someone competent do her job.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"OVER 30M PASSENGERS DELAYED BY ATC MISMANAGEMENT & STAFF SHORTAGES IN 2025 RYANAIR CALLS ON URSULA VON \u201cDERLAYED-AGAIN\u201d…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":470826,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5174],"tags":[2000,299,5187],"class_list":{"0":"post-470825","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-eu","8":"tag-eu","9":"tag-europe","10":"tag-european"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115309715865780500","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=470825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/470825\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/470826"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=470825"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=470825"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=470825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
