The record for the busiest ever day in UK airspace fell last month and could be about to be surpassed again, according to the NATS air traffic control service last week, with the number of flights across the country continuing to increase.
The service says it handled 252,173 flights in UK airspace in July, an increase of 0.9% on the same month last year. Growth was seen especially in non-transatlantic international overflying traffic and transatlantic overflights, increasing by 6.5% and 5% respectively.
