Covid-19 aviation recovery solutions
Rebuilding air travel with efficient ATM
The COVID-19 pandemic has had a huge impact on air travel the world over, with traffic and passenger figures reducing to pre-2000 numbers in many regions.
The effective rebuilding of air travel, supported by efficient air traffic control and management is something NATS is well experienced at.
We are working with our partners and customers in the UK and internationally to help them meet this enormous challenge through a portfolio of specific services focused on Efficiency, Predictability, Scheduling and Simulation.
Airport operators and air navigation service providers face many challenges. How to evolve ATC systems, processes and train the next generation of employees, whilst complying with legislation and standards.
We work with our customers to support them in their ambitions, developing market-leading products that address the key aviation challenges of capacity, assurance and efficiency. Designed to be flexible and scalable, our products respond to diverse operational needs to deliver improved performance levels, whatever the context.
We use our own experience and collaborate with many of the world’s leading organisations to create a range of customer offers that enable airports, airlines, ANSPs, governments and the military to exceed their own performance expectations and keep the skies operating efficiently and effectively, whilst maintaining safety.
Some customers call on us simply for equipment and people. Others see the benefits of a closer and more collaborative partnership, where there is sharing of risk and a performance-based contracting arrangement. Whichever way we work, our customers benefit from the knowledge and experience gained by NATS from over 40 years in the aviation industry.
We see beyond the technology to the pressing operational issues faced by all working in aviation – including ourselves – every day. We’re able to apply lessons learned from complex projects we’ve successfully delivered around the world. And as one of the first ANSPs to be privatised, we’re able to back up our expertise with commercially strong solutions.
LVNL is pleased to bring Intelligent Approach into Schipol with its iTEC partner, NATS. This cooperation is a good example in how ANSP’s can reduce the time to market and deliver customer benefits sooner and more cost effectively.
