North Atlantic Track Agreement

The North Atlantic Track Agreement refers to a set of procedures established for aircraft operations over the North Atlantic Ocean. Specifically, it addresses the routing of transatlantic flights to enhance safety and efficiency. The agreement involves the coordination of air traffic control authorities from different countries, allowing for optimized flight paths, reduced travel time, and better management of airspace during busy periods. The North Atlantic Tracks (NAT) are predefined routes that are periodically adjusted based on aircraft traffic and prevailing weather conditions, including jet streams.
