The airports in France and Belgium have reported the highest daily traffic figure to date with 1,564 movements, after implementing measures to reduce the effects of industrial action.

NATS operations managing director Martin Rolfe said: "Last month saw disruption due to the industrial action in France and Belgium, which led to an inevitable traffic increase for us as we continued to work as normal.

"Alongside this, we have handled the increase in scheduled traffic and once again kept delays to a minimum."
