Holidays & Travel

With schools now broken up for summer, the next few days will see the peak of the summer for flights with NATS, the UK’s leading provider of air traffic control services, expecting to handle well over 8,000 flights per day.

2018 was the busiest summer on record for air traffic in Europe with peaks of 37,000 flights a day and 2019 is expected to be even busier.

This summer has already seen records broken for most UK flights ever in a single day, July 5th, when 8,863 flights were handled by NATS in 24-hours.

With air traffic movements (ATMs) set to peak for the year the One Too Many campaign is reminding passengers to ensure make sure they travel responsibly and avoid serious consequences and penalties for disruptive behaviour. 

Over 8,800 flights are expected to travel through UK airspace today as the summer holidays officially kick off for many across the country. The One Too Many campaign recently relaunched for Summer 2019 with the support of Aviation Minister Baroness Vere, building on the back of a successful inaugural year.

Yorkshire is the British county defined by its luscious peaks, rugged coastline, and sprinkled with cultural hubs. This is a brilliant location to spend a weekend away with old school friends, a week with family or even take a longer period of time to truly explore what Yorkshire has on offer. From York Minster to renovated industrial buildings - there is something for everyone within this northern gem, and you’ll find the people some of the most hospitable and welcoming people on these isles.

Taking a much-needed vacation from work is something that most employees look forward to. Imagine the thought of not having to report to work for a couple of days or weeks? No need to stay long hours to meet specific deadlines and reports. It is nice to look for large country houses to rent for weekends so that your family and friends can tag along.
