  • Company History

SafeSkys is a contracted staff company providing specialist staff to airports. With a  £multi-million turnover we bid for contracts to supply people to carry out  airport tasks.

SafeSkys manages 2 distinct divisions:

  1. Air Traffic Control Services.  We are an ANSP and plan to grow the ATC Services Division.  This division provides turnkey ATC Services including ATC Engineering.
  2. Bird Control.  We can set up a Bird Control Unit (BCU) at your airport or train your Ops/RFFS staff. Increasingly we are challenging existing providers of 13 km bird safety surveys and providing the tri-annual site surveys.

We were founded in 1993 to provide  Air Traffic Control Services, Bird Control Services, Bird Control Training, associated ATC electronic engineering, ground school training for pilots and airport contracted services. The founders have over 40 years experience in the provision of airport services.

The company currently employs staff at nineteen airports and sites throughout the UK and Europe. SafeSkys has contracts with the Ministry of Defence and UK Regional Airports.
