London City Airport scoops award

NATS digital tower is clearly the way forward.

Following on from being named by the Daily Telegraph as the best airport in the UK, London City was awarded the Digital Transformation Award at the 32nd ACI Europe Annual Congress in Rome.  It is probably the only major airport in the world with its ground movements controlled remotely.

The award was in recognition for the design, delivery and operational success of the pioneering Digital Air Traffic Control Tower, which has been fully operational at London City since January 2021.

Commenting on the award Alison FitzGerald, Chief Operating Officer at the airport, said: “This project goes back to 2016 and I want to pay tribute to everyone involved in getting it approved by our regulators, as well as built, operationally ready and prepared for a busy summer ahead.

This recognition also speaks to the strength of the relationship we have built with NATS over the years, and I am hopeful that there is even more we can achieve together, helping us both to lead the way in making our industry safer, more sustainable and cutting edge.”
