Operational Information
The Customer Affairs team fosters a close working relationship with airlines. Each Account Manager maintains regular communication to help inform tactical decisions that optimise daily operations. This is further supported through the Airspace Capacity Management cell and Customer Gateway website. In the event of an incident that has caused, or is likely to cause, a significant reduction in the airspace, airport facilities or airline services for a substantial period, NATS will initiate an incident management process known as ATICCC. The Air Traffic Incident Co-ordination and Communication Cell (ATICCC) provides a focal point for communication between airlines, airports, ATC organisation and media, via structured teleconferences, the NATS Customer Gateway website, emails and text messages. ATICCC has been activated during major events such as the 2012 Olympics and at times of crisis affecting UK and Irish airspace such as the Icelandic volcanic eruptions in 2010. NATS shares all operational information, including ATICCC updates through the Customer Gateway.Customer Forums
There are a number of forums available for NATS’ airline customers to engage with us and find out about our plans, ensure their voices are heard and work collaboratively with us to drive continuous improvement in Air Traffic Management.
