TAG Farnborough Airport

We provide Air Traffic Control (ATC) services at 13 UK airports. At TAG Farnborough Airport we provide tower, approach and LARS 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.

This is a radar-based control service located in the lower part of the tower. Incoming aircraft are managed from approximately 40 miles away from the aerodrome, generally under 10,000ft.

Radar
