Such events could happen irrespective of ownership model. NATS is 49% owned by the UK government and 5% by employees. https://techmonitor.ai/technology/networks/air-traffic-control-uk-flight-delays-cyberattack https://www.nats.aero/about-us/company/#:~:text=Our%20ownership&text=NATS%20is%20a%20public%20private,%25%20(the%20golden%20share).
