a. Redundancy and relocation costs<br />

<strong>NATS</strong> (Services) Limited is undertaking a reorganisation, which included voluntary redundancies in the year. Last year, <strong>NATS</strong> (En Route)<br />

plc undertook a voluntary redundancy programme to reduce its operating costs to meet the challenging cost efficiency targets set for<br />

Reference Period 2 (RP2: <strong>2015</strong>-2019). These costs are considered to be exceptional. The group also incurs other redundancy costs in<br />

the normal course of business.<br />

Relocation costs are incurred as a result of the redeployment of staff following site closures or following contract termination. Credits<br />

are reported where costs incurred were lower than originally estimated. To the extent that staff cannot be redeployed, termination terms<br />

are agreed. In response to the economic downturn and changes in technology, voluntary redundancy may also be offered to staff in<br />

some areas of the business.<br />
