As you may be aware, we had been in the process of seeking a broad range of stakeholders’ views on the way in which Aberdeen Airport should progress its part of a UK-wide initiative to modernise the country’s airspace, known as the Airspace Modernisation Strategy (AMS). This process is known as an Airspace Change Proposal (ACP). However, given the outbreak of COVID-19, Aberdeen Airport took the decision in 2020 to postpone this work.

During 2022, Aberdeen Airport was able to recommence its ACP. Since then, we have engaged with our existing stakeholders, in addition to any new relevant stakeholders. We have held a number of workshops and received feedback from a wide range of stakeholder groups.

We submitted our Stage 2 documents to the CAA for assessment in December 2022 and were advised in January that we have successfully passed the gateway. We now intend to begin Stage 3 and start preparing for a full public consultation on our Comprehensive List of Options. A key element of the public consultation is that it takes place when proposals are at a formative stage, so that feedback has the potential to affect the proposals. As such, Aberdeen Airport is expecting the public consultation to take place in early 2024 and will provide updates on this process in advance here.
