New separation standard permanently adopted over the North Atlantic
Summary
The transformation of the North Atlantic operation took another step forward this month with the permanent adoption of reduced aircraft separation standards. The success of the trial means the separation standards have now been permanently adopted as well as published in worldwide ICAO documentation. Monthly reports were sent to the UK Civil Aviation Authority as well as regular updates for the ICAO North Atlantic working groups. Martin Donnan, NATS Director, En-route ATM, said: “Permanent adoption of these new standards is a major milestone for our North Atlantic operation and testament to the hard work of everyone involved. “Immediately delivering safety improvement, the new separation standards have also allowed NAT airspace users to access more efficient routings during the trial.
