<p>The Government regrets the recent air traffic control issues and the impact these
have had on airlines and their customers. NATS has an outstanding aviation safety
record and is regulated against service targets which are set by the Civil Aviation
Authority (CAA). It is important that we await the findings of the independent review
which the CAA has announced into the technical failure which impacted NATS systems
on 28 August 2023 and that any recommendations from this are responded to accordingly.</p><p>
</p><p>My officials have and will continue to engage with the relevant stakeholders
to ensure robust plans are in place to mitigate any disruption to air traffic control
services, recognising that the safety of the operation must always be the paramount
consideration for air navigation service providers.</p>
