Amazing 24 hour time lapse video of UK air traffic highlights the busy skies above Deeside
The skies above the UK have been brought to life like never before in a video showing a day of air traffic in less than three minutes.
Created from actual radar data showing over 7,000 flights, the video graphically illustrates the daily task facing air traffic controllers and the airspace features that help make it all work.
Created by air traffic management company, NATS, the video takes viewers on a unique tour of some of the key features of UK airspace – from the four holding stacks over London and the military training zones above Wales, to the helicopters delivering people and vital supplies to the North Sea oil and gas rigs.
Looking at the video you can see the skies above Deeside have a major part to play in UK air traffic as huge number of flights pass over departing and arriving to nearby Manchester and Liverpool airports as well as routing to other UK destinations.
The time lapse video also features RAF fast jet training flights over north and mid Wales.
