    The clip shows the day starting with the transatlantic flights entering UK airspace.

    We're then shown the incredible number of flights in and out of London every single day.

    And the fascinating "holding stacks" above the main airports used to maintain UK air traffic.

    The video also highlights the unique flight patterns of military training out at sea

    According to NATS, Prestwick Control Centre in Ayrshire deals with 2,500 flights each day.

    As well as commercial flights, the video also shows the number of helicopter flights from Aberdeen to the North Sea oil and gas platforms.
