Purpose of this change

This proposal is for a Permanent change to the notified airspace design, and the change level is 1.

This airspace change proposal will make changes to the Manchester Terminal Manoeuvring Area (MTMA) airspace, STARs and ATS route network. The proposed changes will interface with SIDs and arrival transitions serving Manchester and East Midlands airports. Manchester and East Midlands airports are currently in the process of proposing changes to their SIDs/ arrival transitions. The changes proposed to the MTMA by this ACP will be coordinated with, and will complement, the airports’ proposals.
