Purpose of this change

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

The Government published its Airspace Modernisation Strategy (AMS) in 2018. Heathrow’s current departure and arrival procedures were designed decades ago, at a time when aircraft and navigation were much less sophisticated than today. Through the introduction of airspace modernisation at Heathrow, the airport will make use of modern navigation technology to enable better aircraft performance, reduce delays and manage traffic in ways that mitigate, where possible, the impact on local communities.
