A method of operating a gas turbine engine compressor. The engine comprises a compressor having an environmental control system bleed port having an outlet in fluid communication with an aircraft environmental control system air duct, and an air turbine starter configured to rotate a compressor shaft of the gas turbine engine. The air turbine starter has an inlet in fluid communication with the environmental control system air duct via an air turbine valve. The method comprises determining a surge margin of the compressor, and where the surge margin of the compressor is determined to be below a predetermined minimum surge margin, opening the air turbine valve to supply air to the air turbine.
