Heathrow hits record numbers

NATIONAL AIR TRAFFIC SERVICES (NATS), the UK airspace co-ordinator has released figures showing that it handled 1.4% less traffic in June 2010 than in the same month the previous year.  The numbers indicate that traffic is returning to previous levels, before the volcanic ash cloud and BA strikes impact.  On 29 June, Heathrow Airport reached a new daily record of 1,385 movements (arrivals and departures).  This record figure at Heathrow comes before the main holiday season begins. www.nats.co.uk
