The Government is currently consulting on proposals to:
• Support the reform of airspace, thereby maximising the economic and social benefits of aviation
• Minimise the negative local impacts of aviation
Ministers are seeking comment on proposals to update policy on the management of UK airspace including:
• The role of an Independent Commission on Civil Aviation Noise to ensure noise impacts are openly considered
• Providing industry with the ability to assess noise impacts and guidance to help them manage change more effectively
• Bringing compensation policy for airspace changes in line with policy on changes to aviation infrastructure
• Greater flexibility for London’s major airports, so they can adapt noise management to the needs of their local communities
