As part of the partnership, Willis and NATS have today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at the Dubai Airshow 2025, an event attended by representatives from government, aviation and aerospace companies. 

Together, Willis and NATS will leverage their airspace and on-the-ground expertise to provide integrated risk and resilience solutions to aviation providers, to manage risk and strengthen resilience. 

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.”

Pamela Thomson-Hall, Head of International at Willis said: “This unique partnership, led by Tania, brings together our risk and resilience know-how with NATS’ world-class airspace capabilities to enhance innovation, safety and fortitude across the sector.”

“We’re delighted to join forces with Willis Global Aviation & Space” said Ben Kiff, Managing Director International, for NATS. “The combination of our operational expertise – built on decades of operating in some of the busiest and most complex aviation environments – and Willis’ deep understanding of risk and resilience, means we’re uniquely placed to support customers as the industry grows and evolves.”
