CONSERVATIONISTS are warning swimmers and divers not to touch starfish or take them out of the water as it could kill them.

Taking these creatures out of the water for just a couple of minutes causes the animal to stop exchanging gases for breathing, which leads them to suffocate and die, say the experts.

Furthermore, simply touching them reportedly subjects starfish to intense stress that can also severely endanger their life.

The list is headed by Istanbul with 1,419 flights, followed by Amsterdam with 1,325, Paris Charles de Gaulle with 1,310, London Heathrow with 1,287 and Frankfurt with 1,252. Madrid Barajas is in sixth place with 1,091 flights and Barcelona ­ El Prat comes in seventh with 952.
