NATS signs strategic partnership with Bristol Airport

NATS has signed a strategic partnership with Bristol Airport that will see it provide air traffic services at the Airport until at least 2036. NATS, which has managed air traffic control at Bristol Airport for 20 years, will continue providing air traffic and associated engineering services, with the new contract coming into effect in January 2026. Bristol Airport saw its busiest ever summer in 2024 with 10.6 million passengers and last year began major works as part of a £400m investment over five years that will enable 12 million passengers a year to use the Airport.
