Two members of NATS are on contract to the States Of Jersey
They were brought in to get the Jersey Zone certified to be an ANSP.
The new air traffic control centre is being kitted out by NATS so there is a big presences by NATS at the moment on the Island.
How many NATS run airfields have an operation like the Channel Islands, up to 70 or 80 inter island movements per week day, not many have an aero club as well as a large light aircraft presence of about 50 plus aircraft.
How many NATS run airfields have at least 25 percent of there daily traffic being light aircraft?

Wonder who they are then? Certainly not running the place ATC wise.

They were brought in to get the Jersey Zone certified to be an ANSP.
Certified by who? Don't know anyone who would certify "Jersey Zone" as that's either a piece of airspace or a callsign.

And why would Jersey ATC need any further "certification" anyway? All the ATCOs will have valid licences, but they always have had. Can't see the States bidding for ANSP contracts anywhere else

I didn't know that NATS were doing all the engineering stuff, but again that doesn't mean they're running the place either. (NATS did quite a lot at Ronaldsway but aren't running that)

According to the Jersey Airport Web site
integrated air traffic management system will help meet the demands for increased airspace capacity at Jersey Airport and Northrop Grumman Park Air Systems has been awarded the contract to supply, deliver and install its NOVA 9000 Radar processing and Flight Planning System into the new tower.
The company will also supply a full integrated electronic flight strip system, which will be the primary operational air traffic control tool for approach and tower control. It is planned that each air traffic control work station will be equipped with NOVA 9000 radar and electronic flight plan displays
No mention of NATS.


NATS isn't running Jersey Airport. (but I'm sure it could;))
