I mentioned in an earlier post that I believe that the UK's NATS have been politically 'served up' as the fall guy for this affair. I find it hard to believe that NATS alone has the executive authority to close UK airspace and that decsion has, I would suggest, have to be made at the highest level of government.
So, come on you hacks who read thses pages, do some digging and find out just who said 'yes'.
I note that Eurocontrol is already starting the back-peddling.
