The Department for Transport and the UK Civil Aviation Authority launched an eight-week consultation on 22 October 2024 on plans to create a UK Airspace Design Service (UKADS). UKADS would be a single guiding mind to coordinate and sponsor future airspace changes to deliver the holistic, modernised airspace design envisaged by our Airspace Modernisation Strategy.

The consultation also proposes to reform the funding of airspace change proposals by creating a new UK Airspace Design Charge. 

The consultation can be found on the UK Civil Aviation Authority's dedicated consultation webpage

You can respond to the consultation from 9am, 22 October 2024 until 11:59pm on 17 December 2024.
