Ryanair reported excessive flight delays caused by European ATC staff shortages today Tuesday September 17 which are affecting all European airlines.
Ryanair saw 8pc of first wave departures (48 of 575 aircraft) were delayed due to ATC staff shortages.
According to Ryanair: ATC services, which have had the benefit of no French ATC strike disruption this summer, continue to underperform (despite flight volumes being 5% behind 2019 levels) with repeated “staff shortages”. These repeated flight delays due to ATC mismanagement are unacceptable. We apologise to our passengers for these repeated ATC flight delays which are deeply regrettable but beyond Ryanair’s control.
