National Air Traffic Services Limited has acquired Wavionix Software for the design and evaluation of approach and departure procedures at the main UK airports. 

Wavionix Procedures Designer 6.1 software will be installed in the NATS offices at Manchester in the next couple of weeks.  NATS joins a growing list of major UK clients to use Wavionix Software, which include the UK CAA Safety Regulation Group and the Directorate of Airspace Policy (part of the CAA), Roke Manor Research Ltd and Airsys ATM. 

Says Wavionix Managing Director, Patrick Aisher; "This second acquisition of Wavionix Software by NATS underpins the credibility of the product and demonstrates our market lead in this highly specific area.  Several existing users such as the UK CAA, Skyguide (formerly Swisscontrol), NAV Portugal and the Mitre Corporation have bought more licences in the past two years".
