London 2012: Air traffic chief speaks of challenge

The head of air traffic control in and around London has spoken of the "challenge" of preparing for 4,000 extra flights during the Olympic Games.

Paul Haskins, of National Air Traffic Services (Nats), is in overall charge of organising how thousands of aircraft will get in and out of London.

Air traffic controllers face leave restrictions during the Games.

Staff have been given special radar training to monitor newly-restricted airspace around London.
