NATS Swanwick
(Redirected from London Terminal Control Centre)
NATS Swanwick is a combined area control centre and terminal control centre operated by National Air Traffic Service (NATS) at Swanwick in Hampshire, England.[1][2]
It started operations on 27 January 2002, and handles aircraft in the London flight information region (FIR), which covers most of England and Wales. The centre consists of three facilities:[1]
- The London Area Control Centre (LACC), which provides air traffic control services to aircraft operating in upper airspace over England and Wales within the London FIR.[3]
- The London Terminal Control Centre (LTCC), which controls aircraft flying below 24,500ft flying to and from London's aiports.[4]
- No. 78 Squadron of the RAF, which provides military air traffic control services and distress and diversion services to civilian aircraft.[5]
The Swanwick facility replaces that of the former site at West Drayton.[4]
