1640463186091491329 | @CharlotteV @NATS What are you doing about Doncaster Airport Minister? We ask again and again and you fail to comment? Why so? Has @PeelLandP told you not speak? #saveDSA | 7 |
1638550561787191296 | A super video from @NATS which clearly illustrates how @LDNLutonAirport traffic interacts with our neighbours, particularly next door @STN_Airport . Full marks to the controllers who keep us safely separated https://t.co/FrvutwqkIz | 6 |
1640642320860053508 | @CharlotteV @NATS Why do you trot out such garbage? 'Airspace modernisation' is for the sole purpose of increasing traffic - ie more fuel, more noise, more emissions. There is no other possible outcome. Surely your role should require you to offer a balanced view and not greenwash aviation? | 4 |
1641096821362524162 | Great to see @NATS play a role in bringing the much needed gender balance to the industry. At @IATA we see this as a priority too. In 2019 we launched #25by2025 which focuses on making the ✈️industry more diverse & inclusive. With 289 signatories, we can see the change happen https://t.co/qQupMtl2S4 | 3 |

1638871508490543104 | You asked, @NATS answered 😅 For anyone who missed last week’s live event, the recorded version is now live on YouTube ⬇️ https://t.co/Fz68EyQ4K9 | 2 |
1640390403634388993 | Revolutionising how we use airspace is key to decarbonising the aviation sector, which is why it’s great to see @NATS deploy the ambitious West airspace change project and make immediate carbon savings to UK skies ✈️ #aviation #jetzero https://t.co/LPtE4CcUtR | 2 |
1638117407456649217 | At @AirspaceWorld, alongside @NATS, @navcanada and @LeidosInc , we were presented with the runners-up award for Innovation in the ATM awards in recognition of the operational impact of the tool & the innovative working practices that needed to deliver the project to schedule. https://t.co/0bK0Wxa8AH | 2 |
1640638106884882432 | It would seem the minister @CharlotteV provides more misinformation More planes = more carbon released There is no such thing as carbon trading or offsetting Aviation marketing spin as it seeks unconditional growth at any price @ACOG_UK an industry body @NATS industry paid https://t.co/deZvteOzqB | 1 |
1640311193028968450 | The third set of interviews with SESAR experts in Geneva @AirspaceWorld. Philippe Leplae, @Eurocontrol, Said Tabti, @Skyguide, Maurizio Romano, @ENAVSpA & Henock Baire @NATS discuss the use of Virtual Centres. https://t.co/LG4AhTj1rf @SESAR_JU https://t.co/x9UXEE22Cd | 1 |
