Tania Roca, Executive Director, Risk & Resilience Advisory at Willis Global Aviation & Space said: “Resilience in aviation is no longer a choice, it’s essential. Geopolitical shocks, cyber threats, climate disruptions and supply chain volatility have become the norm in our industry.

"Through a holistic approach - from airspace to ground - we are designing resilience systems that don’t just recover from disruptions, they prepare stakeholders to meet global policy and regulatory developments, and provide assurance for human capital, investment and long-term planning. I am so excited to be working with NATS with such a unique offering.”
