Flightpath consultation ends this week
15.06.08
The consultation on proposals to redraw aircraft routes over the South East of England, including for flights in to Stansted, London City, Heathrow and Luton Airport, ends this week. The 17-week consultation period will close on Thursday (June 19); anyone who wants to register their views on the proposals must do so by then.
The consultation, which includes the whole south east region, had originally been due to close on May 22, but was extended by four weeks to ensure all those who wanted to register their views were given ample opportunity to do so.
It is the biggest-ever consultation by NATS, the air traffic management company, on changes that represent the first fundamental overhaul in several decades for this area of airspace. The proposed changes are designed to reduce delay whilst maintaining safety and improving environmental performance.
So far NATS has received almost 5000 consultation responses. For more information and to give feedback online, visit www.nats.co.uk/TCNconsultation.
Following the end of the consultation all feedback will be submitted to the Civil Aviation Authority, which decides whether the proposed change can go ahead. If approved, the change would not become operational before spring 2009.
