- Ryanair cancelled more than 1,000 flights in September after air traffic control failures, while operating 111,700 flights and carrying 20.1 million passengers, a 4% year‑on‑year increase.
- The airline’s load factor stayed at 94% despite the disruption, which stemmed from a connectivity issue at the Prestwick centre and a software fault on 8 September that caused widespread chaos; Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander convened a meeting with NATS chairman Warren East, and NATS chief executive Martin Rolfe faced pressure to resign.
