From next year, the UK government will introduce a major overhaul of its airspace, which officials say will lead to faster flights, fewer delays and less pollution for passengers. A new body, the UK Airspace Design Service (UKADS), will be set up to roll out redesigned routes largely unchanged for some 70 years.
Concentration on London and UK Airspace
The first priority will that reformation be on modernising the maze of airspace in and around London. While its effects are likely take years to materialize, changes outside London could be visible before 2030. The government wants UKADS to be up and running by the end of this year with London’s overhaul staged over the 2030s because it is such a mammoth task.
The circular flight paths are designed to make it easier for airplane to take off and land, which would cut down on delays and fuel consumption. Aviation minister Mike Kane said the overhaul would cut flying-related pollution and was preparing the sector for new technologies, such as flying taxis.
Responses from stakeholders and public concern 5.1.
Some residents worry that the new routes could mean more air traffic flying over homes that haven’t been exposed in the past. Dr Alan Lafferty, a Chiswick resident of over thirty years, is concerned making noise levels climbing in the skies above Heathrow. He added the current flights are already disturbing and any closer would be a nightmare.
On the other hand, the plane-hopping Tim Keevil said Heathrow was out of date and needed to be expanded without delay.
Tim Alderslade from industry group Airlines UK backed the move as a “once in a generation opportunity”, andSteve Heapy, chief executive of Jet2, welcomed the announcement, but urged swift action. Aerospace engineer Finlay Asher also welcomed the plans but cautioned commitments to the environment and local communities must take precedence so as not to offset a reduction in emissions elsewhere.
A Move Toward Sustainable Aviation
It is the biggest overhaul to the airspace since the 1950s when just 200,000 flights a year passed through UK skies. By comparison, there were about 2.7 million flights last year. The new system is expected to be able to accommodate more traffic, and last so long as to diminish the sector’s contribution to climate change.
