Ryanair calls on all UK passengers to take action after 7,000 delayed in one day alone this week
RYANAIR has called on all UK passengers to take action after 7,000 were delayed in just one day this week. The budget airline is calling on the CEO of the UK's leading provider of air traffic control services to step down following the travel disruption. 1 Ryanair has called on all UK passengers to take action after 7,000 were delayed in just one day this week Credit: LNP Martin Rolfe, CEO of the National Air Traffic Services (NATS) is facing calls to resign after staff shortages delayed 38 flights by up to an hour this week. Those delays impacted the travel of over 7,000 UK passengers according to Ryanair. In a message to its passengers, the airline said: "Ryanair has long campaigned for ATC reform to ensure that ATCs are fully staffed, but UK ATC delays are getting worse due to repeated NATS mismanagement and staff shortages. 'Ryanair calls on all passengers to visit the 'Air Traffic Control Ruined Your Flight' webpage and demand that Transport Minister, Heidi Alexander, sack Martin Rolfe and reform NATS's hopeless ATC service, so that airlines and passengers do not suffer further avoidable ATC delays at the hands of NATS's continued mismanagement and staff shortages.' Read more Travel News NATS provides assistance for both civilian and military aircraft in UK airspace and at a number of UK airports. The message comes just days after easyJet expressed their "extreme unhappiness" with strikes by French air traffic control (ATC) workers. French ATC staff walked out on July 3 and July 4 in a dispute over working conditions disrupting tens of thousands of passengers. Flights to and from French airports as well as those due to fly over French airspace were impacted. Most read in News Travel With 70 per cent of short-haul flights going in and out of the UK using French airpsace, easyJet is heavily reliant on France's air traffic control. At least 18 people injured after fire in Ryanair plane at Majorca airport as passengers abandon jet by clambering over wing Issues relating to air traffic control have caused 49 per cent of delays for the This is a 77 per cent hike compared with the same period last year. Chief executive, Kenton Jarvis, warned that the industrial action is presenting "unacceptable challenges". 'We are extremely unhappy with the strike action by the French ATC in early July, which as well as presenting unacceptable challenges for customers and crew also created unexpected and significant costs for all airlines," he said. He added that the walkout earlier this month was "very, very disruptive" as the company was forced to cancel nearly 700 flights at a cost of £15 million. Travel advice With a summer of further disruptions expected, The Sun's head of travel Lisa Minot has advised what you should do if travelling this summer. She said: "Whatever happens if it is [your flight] delayed or cancelled for reasons outside of the the airlines control, then unfortunately there is no compensation due. "But the airline does have a duty of care to look after you. "If your flight is cancelled and it is the airline's fault ... then you could be due compensation. "It could be anything up to £520." Last month The airline revealed the worst air traffic control centres (ATCs) for delays and this included the UK as the fifth worst. Ryanair said that the Micheal O'Leary, the airline's CEO, also said that if staff shortages and ATC issues are not sorted, there will be "record ATC flight delays this summer". The airline's 'League of Delays' revealed that France and Spain have been the most impacted so far this year, with 15,634 and 11,576 flights delayed respectively. The airline has also claimed that 90 per cent of their flight cancellations during the French ATC strikes, could have been avoided if overflights over France were allowed to take place. Many airlines are now calling on This would mean that airlines would not follow diversions via several points, but instead fly straight to a destination. Flight compensation rules A look at your rights if a flight is delayed or cancelled, when your entitled to compensation and if your travel insurance can cover the costs. What are my rights if my flight is cancelled or delayed? Under UK law, airlines have to provide compensation if your flight arrives at its destination more than three hours late. If you're flying to or from the UK, your airline must let you choose a refund or an alternative flight. You will be able to get your money back for the part of your ticket that you haven't used yet. So if you booked a return flight and the outbound leg is cancelled, you can get the full cost of the return ticket refunded. But if travelling is essential, then your airline has to find you an alternative flight. This could even be with another airline. When am I not entitled to compensation? The airline doesn't have to give you a refund if the flight was cancelled due to reasons beyond their control, such as extreme weather. Disruptions caused by things like extreme weather, airport or air traffic control employee strikes or other 'extraordinary circumstances' are not eligible for compensation. Some airlines may stretch the definition of "extraordinary circumstances" but you can challenge them through the aviation regulator the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). Will my insurance cover me if my flight is cancelled? If you can't claim compensation directly through the airline, your travel insurance may refund you. Policies vary so you should check the small print, but a delay of eight to 12 hours will normally mean you qualify for some money from your insurer. Remember to get written confirmation of your delay from the airport as your insurer will need proof. If your flight is cancelled entirely, you're unlikely to be covered by your insurance.

Jules Thomas got to say private goodbye to her long-time lover Ian Bailey
Jules Thomas got to say a private goodbye to her long-time lover Ian Bailey and threw most of his ashes into Dumanus Bay as was his dying request. She and his sister Kay Reynolds met up several days after a memorial service for the former journalist and long-time suspect in the Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder, was held for his friends in West Cork. Artist Jules, who lived with Bailey for more than 30 years until they split up in 2021, got very upset when she discovered she wasn't invited to the original service. She revealed: 'It was all a bit of a misunderstanding. I heard from a journalist up in Dublin the day before that this get-together for Ian was going ahead and I could not believe I wasn't asked. 'It turned out that his sister Kay did not have a telephone number for me and a few days later she made contact. 'One of Ian's dying wishes was to have his ashes released in Dunmanus Bay. So Kay and I met up and went up to the Cliff Road to do it. However the tide was out so we had to come back the next day and scatter his ashes when the sea was in. 'I said my final goodbye to him, it was very emotional because we had been through so much together. The whole Sophie Toscan du Plantier murder had ruined all our lives. 'I got to throw most of his ashes into the sea – the bag was very heavy, but he was a very tall man after all. We laid him to rest and that's all that matters.' Ian Bailey. (Image: AFP via Getty Images) The self-professed poet, 66, dropped dead from a massive heart attack as he walked down the street near his home in Bantry, Co Cork in January 2024. Jules, who has an incurable disease, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, a form of blood cancer, said Ian adored his little sister Kay. She stated: 'Kay had no idea how sick Ian was in the months before he died. She knew nothing about his heart condition and that his life was in danger because they couldn't operate. 'He was very protective of her and didn't want to tell her in case it caused her worry. So when he died Ian's death came as a great shock to her and she found it very difficult to cope and deal with. 'I enjoyed our time together and we gave him the proper send-off that he deserved.' But Jules told how she is writing a new book on the Sophie murder and is determined to tell her side of the story before she dies. The French film-maker, 39, was found battered to death on a lane 100 yards from her holiday home in Christmas 1996. Nobody has ever been charged with the murder. Bailey was arrested twice but never charged. Ian Bailey and Jules Thomas in 2017 A French court found him guilty of the murder in absentia in. 2019 and sentenced him to 25 years jail. Bailey always denied any involvement and didn't do a day behind bars after the Irish courts refused to extradite him to France. Jules, who provided Bailey with an alibi on the night of the murder, was also arrested as part of the investigation. She said: 'I actually think I know who carried out the murder – someone with very powerful connections in this country. I will be writing everything in the book. I want to set the record straight once and for all. 'The truth is Ian may not have been perfect because he was not a killer. I kept telling them that but the Gardaí wouldn't listen. Ian couldn't even kill a turkey for God sake, let alone a human being.'
