Glasgow Airport

Next Steps

Stage 2 Continued – February to August 2022:

We will review all of the feedback that we have received and refine or create new route options as appropriate. Our full Comprehensive List of Options will then be taken forward to the Design Principle Evaluation (Step 2A), where we assess each option to understand whether it has met, partially met, or not met the Design Principles. Following this we will commence Step 2B which consists of an initial appraisal of the route options. This step will determine what options Glasgow Airport proposes to take forward to Stage 3.

Before we can commence Stage 3, the CAA must approve Glasgow Airport’s Design Principles Evaluation and Initial Options Appraisal. We have submitted our documentation for review and it is currently available to view on the CAA Airspace Change portal.

Starting Stage 3 – September 2022 to August 2023

If Glasgow Airport receives approval from the CAA, we can commence Stage 3 in September 2022 and start preparing for a full public consultation on our preferred route 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, Glasgow Airport is expecting the public consultation to take place in Q3 2023.
