UK airports face continued disruption as hundreds of flights are canceled due to bad weather and air-traffic control staff shortages. On Monday, around 3,500 passengers at Gatwick saw their flights grounded, with easyJet canceling multiple routes. The issue follows similar problems over the weekend, including 240 British Airways cancellations affecting 40,000 passengers. The air-navigation provider Nats cited temporary air-traffic restrictions and staff absences. Ryanair has called for the resignation of Nats CEO Martin Rolfe, while calls for leadership changes at Gatwick intensify amid ongoing chaos.
