Future AirspaceNew Airspace Change Process CAP 1616 will offer:
• Greater transparency
• Early engagement on design principles
• Additional stages to make the case for change
• Improved standardisation of process and products
• Incremental process with sign off at key gates by CAA/SoS
To be published soon
London Airspace Management Programme Phase 2 will offer:
• Increased aircraft safety
• Reduced flight time, delay and cancellations
• Reduced emissions per flight
• Reduced noise impact and
• Simpler, more flexible structures better suited to airspace sharing and change
