NATS, the UK’s leading air traffic services provider, today confirmed the appointment of Ben Kiff as Director Asia Pacific and Middle East, expanding his previous role as Director Middle East to support and shape NATS’ strategic intentions in both regions.

Ben said: “This is a tremendous opportunity as both regions are at the forefront of growth and innovation and I’m delighted to be able to lead our team at such an exciting time. Robust aviation infrastructure plays a central role in fueling the economic growth of countries here. We want to work with airport authorities and other industry players to enable safer, more efficient and better connected airports and airspaces.”
