This Saturday, 26 June, is Armed Forces Day; an opportunity each year for the public to show support for Armed Forces personnel and their achievements, both past and present. It is also a time to engage, outside of routine work, at the hundreds of formal and informal celebratory events across the country.

NATS can trace its sustainability programme back to 2008.  We’re proud that we were among the first in our industry to recognise the climate challenge and start to put in place measures to address the impact we have.

Armed Forces Day has always presented an occasion for the military to engage with the public and highlight the work we do on behalf of the nation.

Based in the west of Wales, NATS Aberporth specialises in a very different kind of air traffic control, which often involves getting aircraft as close together as possible before one is blown out of the sky!

At the World ATM Congress, currently taking place in Madrid, NATS will be showcasing our expertise in defence. In this video, David Barker, the Defence Business Development Manager for NATS, discusses the importance, and benefits, of a collaborative approach between civil and military airspace users.
