Refreshed Airspace Modernisation Strategy

Modernisation of UK airspace, delivering quicker, quieter and cleaner journeys, is long overdue. Today, the CAA is publishing a refreshed Airspace Modernisation Strategy, bringing it up to date and widening its scope, in particular:

to extend the strategy out to 2040
to maintain and, where possible, improve the UK’s high levels of aviation safety
to focus on integrating all airspace users with simpler airspace design and supporting regulations
to introduce environmental sustainability as an overarching principle across all modernisation activities
to align with the ICAO Global Air Navigation Plan and provide a clear strategic path for rulemaking, now the UK has left the EU and EASA.
