Air Traffic Control Ruined Your Flight

Air Traffic Control (ATC) services have been short staffed and mismanaged for years, resulting in record flight delays and cancellations across Europe in 2024. The EU Commission and National Transport Ministers still haven’t done anything to fix this and as a result 2025 is set to be the worst year yet.

Here's what you need to know...

ATC centres are responsible for managing when planes can take off and land at the airport. The service is paid for by airlines and passengers, like you, but are the responsibility of National Transport Ministers. Ryanair has long campaigned for ATC services to be fully staffed and functioning, but nothing has changed, ATC disruptions are getting worse.

We’re now facing yet another Summer of avoidable ATC delays and cancellations. 

We need your help to stop this unnecessary ATC disruption

Your National Transport Minister has the power to increase ATC staffing and fix this unnecessary ATC disruption but is not taking action. You have the power to make them.

Find your National Transport Minister’s email below and contact them demanding they take action to protect passengers like you from unnecessary ATC disruption this Summer.
