NATS provides en route air traffic management services to aircraft flying
in United Kingdom and North Atlantic airspace from four locations:
Swanwick in Hampshire, West Drayton in Middlesex, Prestwick in Ayrshire
and at Manchester airport. NATS has developed a two-centre strategy
that will, in the future, mean en route air traffic management will
be provided from Swanwick and at a New Prestwick Centre.
NATS provides air traffic control services at 14 of the UK's major
airports: Aberdeen, Belfast International, Birmingham, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Farnborough,
Glasgow, London Gatwick, London Heathrow, London Stansted, London City, London Luton,
Manchester and Southampton.
Infrastructure
NATS is responsible for providing a nationwide network of
communications, surveillance and meteorology services and associated
ground communications. Effectively this means the radar data for the
controllers’ screens, the radio frequencies they talk to pilots on
and the ground communications between controllers. NATS also
provides navigational services to airlines and the general aviation
community.
