During the CAA Finance Service Forum on 8 December 2023 and covering among other matters the “FY2024/25 Charging Consultation Proposals”, the CAA introduced a proposal for “a further new activity price increase of 3.0% across our safety schemes, providing a contribution to the CAA’s role in enabling innovation in the sector, particularly Future Flight which will deliver benefits to existing users through enabling the safe integration of new users, as well as to those new users who will in time be part of the aviation system and at that point make a financial contribution to regulatory costs.”

That proposal would help fund 10% of the costs supported by the CAA, with the government funding the other 90%.

ARPAS-UK supports the proposal, and we believe that innovation will benefit all airspace users.
