Airspace Change

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.
Completed on 31 March 2025
At Stage 1, we define the requirements for a proposed change to airspace design by setting out the objectives, issues, or opportunities within a Statement of Need, and by developing the current-day scenario.
