The french equivalent of NATS?

[GhostUK]

Hi guys,
This isnt actually for me, I'm not a french national nor resident.

Does anyone know the french equivalent of NATS?
I know eurocontrol is one possible option, but France must have its own state sponsored equivalent as well?

Thanks in advance

The closest you'll get is DSNA, La Direction des Services de la Navigation Aérienne, part of DGAC, La Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile. Essentially, I think, all French civil service.

The french equivalent of NATS should really be SNTA (Service National du Trafic Aerien)

Le Nats...

I would say that the exact equivalent is la direction des opérations (DO), part of the DSNA.

There is no such thing as a french equivalent of nats... All french nationals go on strike!

If it's anything like the French for NATO it will be STAN - I'll get my coat

As Spitoon says : Direction des Services de la Navigation Aérienne (DSNA)

if it helps : list of the CANSO full members providers :

You could always try posting in the French forum. They will answer English questions (although sometimes in French.... I can translate for you if needed) Cheers.

Can there be anything in France that's as bad as NATS?
