Air Traffic Management
Our on-going ‘Acting Responsibly’ environment programme is focused on minimising the environmental impact of Air Traffic Management (ATM).
By working with our industry partners and communities to reduce fuel burn, CO2 emissions and noise impacts we are driving towards a more sustainable future for aviation.

NATS was the first ATM organisation in the world to set environmental targets for reducing CO2 emissions (in 2008). We were also the first to develop ways of measuring our performance and the first to include a metric (3Di) in our regulatory framework (in 2012). Our extensive programme of work to reduce CO2 emissions, a key contributor to climate change, also makes financial sense too; there is a proportional relationship between CO2 and fuel, with a 1% reduction to ATM CO2 emissions saving over £50 million in avoided fuel costs.
Our 2013/2014 Corporate Responsibility Report is our fifth since 2008, when we embedded environment as one of our core business values.
