In April 2020 the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ England Data Unit and the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Shared Data Unit reported experts warning some airports were "at risk" of closure because of the loss of business during the coronavirus pandemic.
Nine out of 10 flights had been grounded since the UK went into lockdown, analysis showed.
Airports said cargo flights were running and shareholders were being supportive as they worked to cut costs.
Flight tracking website recorded just 711 departures from the UK's 10 biggest airports last week.
This compared with 7,865 in the week up to the UK's lockdown.
