The contract will run for four months and will form an important building block in Istanbul’s airport capacity enhancement programme.
Paul Reid, Managing Director, NATS Services, said: “Traffic levels at Ataturk airport have been increasing steadily for years. There has been substantial investment in airport infrastructure to accommodate this growth; NATS’ role is to help assess how to maximise the airfield capacity to meet current and future demand.”
This initial contract, coupled with a recently signed Memorandum of Cooperation between NATS and the Republic of Georgia and a series of NATS-run ATC training courses with Romania, helps forge long term mutually beneficial development relationships between NATS and these dynamic and growing regions.
