About Glasgow Airport’s Airspace Change Proposal
Glasgow Airport, along with other airports in Scotland, is required by the Department for Transport (DfT) and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to review the departure and arrival routes and surrounding airspace of the airport. The regulatory requirements and guidance for this process is known as CAP1616.
In 2019 Glasgow Airport commenced Stage 1 of the CAP1616 process, which included engaging with a range of stakeholders and community representatives on the principles that should guide the airport’s decision making when it comes to designing any new routes.
Glasgow Airport has successfully passed Stage 1 of the ACP process and has commenced Stage 2. This stage involves developing a comprehensive list of potential airspace change design options.
