Driving value creation and preservation
OVERVIEW
The Air Traffic and Navigation Services Company SOC Ltd (ATNS) integrated report, for the year ended 31 March 2022, provides concise and material information on our business, governance, strategy, performance, outlook and sustainability approach.
ATNS provides air traffic and navigation services across 6% of the world’s airspace. However, looking to the future, we are privileged to be an organisation comprised of thought-leaders dedicated to excellence, technological innovation and sustainability. We are also developing and rebuilding the future aviation workforce as a world-class provider of air traffic management training. Combined, ATNS is well-positioned to secure value realisation in aviation for years to come.
Within our business model and strategy, we are acutely aware of our external environment and how this is continuously evolving. Most recently, global aviation has been severely impacted by COVID-19, as we continue to understand the pandemic’s longer-lasting impacts and how to best proactively future-proof ourselves against the devastating effects of other large-scale external disruptions. However, throughout history, aviation has been impacted by change, and ATNS has continually proven its ability to remain resilient, and to prioritise, strategise, conserve and collaborate in response to the external environment.
