I have been hearing on UK newsmedia of airlines being asked to compensate passengers for costs incurred related to all this and calls for airlines to operate so called rescue flights. Yes I get it airlines have a responsibility to their customers, but surely any pay outs due to this chaos must be down to NATS. Any insiders know how this might eventually play out?

The Airlines used to be shareholders in NATS , not sure if this is still the case.
