Reviews of terminal air navigation services (TANS) transitions at Birmingham and Gatwick

In February 2018, the CAA published further information for stakeholders in the TANS sector (CAP 1633), following the SDG review of transitions.

In February 2017, we published the results of Steer Davies Gleave's reviews of the TANS transitions at Birmingham and Gatwick airports. The reviews found that no issues had emerged so far in terms of the continuity or quality of service, but identified a number of challenges that had emerged between the incoming and outgoing providers. The reports contained a number of recommendations to the CAA and other stakeholders to help facilitate future transitions. Andrew Haines (the CAA's Chief Executive) wrote to stakeholders advising them of the main recommendations.
