More concern over air traffic control
Yet another story detailing the “overcrowding” of the skies above Britain has surfaced, with pilots reportedly saying the approach to the UK’s airports resembles “surfing the rapids in a canoe”.
The Sun newspaper quotes comments reportedly made on a pilots’ website “bulletin board” that radio frequencies used for air traffic control are too busy. One air traffic controllers is quoted as saying: “Many of our frequencies are getting overloaded and the problem is getting worse, not better. There is barely enough time for a basic service provision and the problem is getting worse, not better.”
A pilot reportedly answered: “On a busy frequency the concern is that we may be unable to interject with s safety-critical message.”
And The Sun quotes David Luxton, of the air traffic control union Prospect, as saying that the situation would be even worse during the peak summer season, adding: “There are more and more planes in the skies with the growth of budget airlines.
