The children were met by JET's area director south, Allie Hack, and NATS' safety specialist Martin Smith. 

Martin said: '˜I am so pleased that NATS is working with the trust to help them expand into the Hampshire region. This exciting development will enable the trust to support even more young people. Our involvement will include offering mentoring and an insight into the world of air traffic control, looking at communication skills, teamwork and leadership.'
