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.
