Reforming policy on the design and use of UK airspace

Consultation: 2nd February 2017 – 25th May 2017.

The UK government supports airspace modernisation in order to deliver benefits for the UK economy, for passengers and for communities affected by aircraft noise. One of its priorities is to make sure the use of technology and environmental controls keep pace with leading practice and to incentivise ambitious and innovative approaches for managing noise in the aviation sector. This proposal aims to create a modern and effective framework for decisions on the design and use of airspace.
