Increase in Air Controller Overload BBC Ceefax
Air Traffic Controllers working at the new centre in Swanwick are reporting an increasing number of overworked staff.
A NATS spkeswoman has confirmed 30 overload reports were filed from January to May this year, compared with 12 in 2001.
She denied any threat to safety and said the increase was due to staff
being encouraged to report their concerns. 
The control centre in Hampshire has been dogged by computer problems.
