Redefining our approach
On 1 July 2019 we launched an initiative to change the way airspace is used at Edinburgh Airport. By harnessing advanced technology, we aim to modernise the airport and make our airspace more efficient. This work will follow the CAP1616 process set by the CAA, the UK’s aviation regulator.

Step 1a : Assess Requirements - This step was completed on 1 Jun 2019
During the Assess Requirement Step, the change sponsor prepares a Statement of Need setting out what airspace issue it is seeking to address. Having reviewed the Statement of Need, the CAA meets with the change sponsor to agree whether an airspace change is a relevant option to consider, and to have a first discussion about the appropriate scale of the airspace change process
