I disagree with the comment above that ANS have a poor track record, the EFPS failure the other day was unprecedented, but failures occur in technology all the time - I don’t feel like ANS has had more than a “normal” amount.
If anybody has any questions about the ANS process I’d be more than happy to help where possible 🙂
Nice to see a little balance on this thread. Nothing wrong with ANS, good outfit run by good people. Plenty of room in the UK for two large ANSP’s, it can only be good for the market. Give it time and there’ll be a bigger division of airport contracts, between them and NATS.
