Mar 25 / Time Flies: A decade of smarter, greener air traffic management

Time Flies

A decade of smarter, greener air traffic management

A decade ago, NATS became the first air traffic management service in the world to introduce Time-Based Separation in a groundbreaking collaboration with Heathrow Airport and Leidos UK.

Since then, it has reduced carbon emissions by 300,000 tonnes, saved airlines 100,000 tonnes of fuel and cut headwind-related delays by 62%, something that’s helped passengers avoid 3.5 years’ worth of holding over London.

On this month’s Altitude we’re joined by some of the people who helped make it happen. We reflect on the challenges of delivering a world first, a decade of continuous improvement and how Intelligent Approach is now helping airports around the world.
