Ms Anne Nolan:
I play a lot of golf and tennis, both of which provide me with a great distraction from my professional work.
I have already dealt with quite a number of the new developments that will have an impact on how we conduct our business. The Aireon satellite system is an exciting prospect and I am looking forward to seeing how it pans out in practice.
Last year there were 12,000 more flights than was the case in 2012. I hope the increase will be as big this year. There has already been an overall rise of 8%.
