Other European markets were similar to those in March a year ago, while transatlantic arrivals and departures fell by 5.4%.
According to Eurocontrol, NATS handled 24.1 per cent of Europe’s traffic in February and was accountable for just 1.4 per cent of Europe’s delay. 99.5 per cent of flights received no NATS-attributable delay; the average NATS delay per delayed flight was 10.9 minutes.
Kathryn Leahy, Chief Operations Officer, said: “This increase in traffic in March, before the summer schedules started at the end of the month, suggests we are on course for a very busy summer ahead.
“Eurocontrol has already warned of likely delays across continental Europe over the season and, while there is nothing we can do about the wider European network, here in the UK we have worked hard on our summer plan and will be doing all we can to ensure that people get away safely and punctually.”
