Next week NATS is hosting the CANSO Global ATM Safety Conference, bringing together the world’s top experts in ATM safety to share, develop and challenge our safety initiatives and strategies.

Last Thursday, our Prestwick Control Centre hosted a conference as part of a series of events taking place during the Prestwick World Festival of Flight 2013, a 10-day celebration of a century of aviation at Prestwick.

NATS is unlike other Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) in that as well as being responsible for safe and efficient air traffic within our home country, we provide air traffic solutions to customers globally

Air traffic control is all about getting as many aircraft through your airspace as efficiently and safely as possible. If you can successfully do that day in day out, passengers, airports and airlines will all be happy – sounds simple!

Instructors from NATS have delivered a well-received course about Human Factors to members of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).

As Airport Live comes to a close, NATS Chief Executive Richard Deakin reflects on the future of Air Traffic Management and the way forward for our ‘invisible infrastructure’.

Perhaps sustainability doesn’t immediately spring to mind when you think about aviation, but at NATS we are well aware that the environment and local communities are central to our business and core to our success.

We’ve developed a new monitoring tool to help our operational and environmental managers better understand flight profiles around our airports.

On January 1st 2012 we delivered another world first by measuring the environmental performance of our airspace in an entirely new way.
