AIR TRAFFIC Y2K COMPLIANT

AIR control watchdog, the Air Traffic and Navigation Services Company, said on Wednesday that its computer systems are now Y2K compliant. “A committee specially constituted to administer the readiness of the company’s systems for Y2K is pleased to report that all the company’s navigation, communications and other systems have been thoroughly tested and upgraded and are Y2K ready,” the ATNS said in a statement which coincided with the International Day of the Air Traffic Controller. The state-owned ATNS, formed in 1993, is the sole provider of air traffic control services in SA.
