We provide Air Traffic Control (ATC) services at 13 UK airports. At London City
Airport we provide tower and engineering services
Tower Services
This is an ATC service provided for the airport
and surrounding airspace. The controllers will
look out of the tower windows, as well as at the
ATC equipment, to give aircraft clearance to taxi,
take-off and land.
Engineering
An engineering team, based at the airport, are
responsible for maintaining air traffic control
services, such as radar and the Instrument
Landing System (ILS).
The Operation: 2018
The current tower opened in 1987 and NATS has
