Air Traffic Control is rapidly becoming more challenging as traffic volumes continue to increase. ANSPs must balance customer needs within ever tightening cost and regulatory parameters.
NATS is a world class ANSP with extensive expertise in the effective management of rising traffic levels in complex airspace. NATS and Spain's AENA are currently forging ahead with a state of the art modernisation project coupling system consolidation with ATC automation. NATS has already successfully solved the majority of problems that ANSPs are facing today. When your goals include increasing capacity, decreasing costs, guaranteeing compliance, ensuring safety and assuring security, NATS can help.
NATS can assist in the identification of areas that can be improved or optimised. Experienced consultants can advise during the exploratory and planning phases. Expert engineers can be utilised to oversee the installation of new systems from specification through to implementation. Alternatively, NATS can manage the entire ATC system environment, or indeed, perform en route air traffic control for a designated airspace.
