It is not possible to disaggregate this information to the level requested. In November 2002, the latest full month for which final information is available, the total number of flights handled by NATS was 157,635. Many of these flights were handled by more than one centre at different stages of their passage through UK airspace. The number of flights handled by each centre in that month was as follows:

Number
Swanwick 129,690
Prestwick (including oceanic flights) 64,612
West Drayton 95,078
Manchester 47,305.
