What is National Air Traffic Services?
The [[United Kingdom]]'s '''National Air Traffic Services''' (NATS) is a company set up in 2001 to run [[air traffic control]] services. This means that NATS makes sure [[aircraft]] can fly safely across Britain, and that aircraft can take-off and land safely at British airports. NATS is a [[private company]], but the government owns 49%, just under half. Before 2001 the [[Civil Aviation Authority]] (CAA) handled air traffic control. {{Transport-stub}} [[Category:Air traffic control]] [[Category:2001 establishments in the United States]] [[Category:British transport companies]]
