Scottish Airspace Modernisation is a coordinated change proposal in Scotland, made up of Glasgow Airport, Edinburgh Airport and NATS, who are known as ‘sponsors’.
Together the sponsors are modernising the airspace over Scotland to meet the vision of the Government’s Airspace Modernisation Strategy to deliver quicker, quieter, more resilient and environmentally cleaner journeys.
Glasgow Airport and Edinburgh Airport are responsible for the modernisation of their departure and arrival routes and the associated controlled airspace below 7,000ft, and NATS is responsible for connecting these routes into the higher-level airspace network at and above 7,000ft.
Please note that there are three separate Airspace Change Proposals (ACPs) relating to these changes.
The consultation opened today, 20 October 2025 (00:01), and will run for 14 weeks until 25 January 2026 (23:59). Please do, review the proposals from each sponsor, if relevant and ensure you have accepted an invitation to a webinar to learn more. Your views can be shared by completing each sponsor’s feedback form.
