Budget flights 'pose crash risk'
|
|
Budget flights began from Manston Airport at the start
of September
|
Budget airlines are posing a heightened risk of mid-air
collisions, according to a report by air traffic controllers.
The report by the Guild of Air Traffic Control Officers (Gatco)
claims no-frills services are flying in skies with no controlled
airspace.
It says "hotspots" include Birmingham, Coventry and
Doncaster airports and Kent International Airport at Manston.
Gatco claims it is an oversight by the Civil Aviation Authority
but the CAA says it constantly reviews airspace.
The report, seen by the BBC, is due the published on Monday, and
claims the situation is "an accident waiting to happen".
It outlines the rise in budget services operating from the four
airports and claims that areas around the sites could see flights
flying in uncontrolled airspace.
At Birmingham Airport, bmi baby has announced plans to serve up to
20 destinations while Thomsonfly has begun operating from nearby
Coventry Airport.
But the report claims there is no controlled airspace linking
either Birmingham or Coventry Airport with the UK national airway
system towards south Wales.
