Further information received:
The first phase of Edinburgh Airport’s Airspace Change Programme (ACP) consultation has now reached its mid-way point. This means that only six weeks remain for formal responses to be submitted before the deadline of 23:59 on 12th September 2016.
During this initial consultation phase, we’re seeking your views on the potential impact of altering flight paths above central Scotland. We would like you to tell us: “What local factors should be taken into account when determining the position of the route within the corridor given the potential impacts, and why?”
Once all the feedback has been received, it will be reviewed and used to determine precise flight paths in consultation with the NATS and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA). A second 12-week consultation process will then seek feedback on these routes. This feedback will be used to determine Edinburgh Airport’s Airspace Change Proposal which will be presented to the Civil Aviation Authority.
As you will have gathered, this is a very detailed process and I want to make sure you have all the information you need to be able to feed back during both consultation phases. We have developed an interactive website letsgofurther.com, which gives information and allows you to check how your postcode may be affected and to formally respond to the consultation.
We have also ran television and newspaper advertising campaigns, and a mailbox drop has been carried out to all EH, KY and FK postcodes, signposting people to the letsgofurther.com website. Written feedback can also be sent to: Edinburgh Airport, PO Box 17473, EDINBURGH, EH12 1ND.
The Airspace Change Programme consultation is being run in accordance with the Civil Aviation Authority’s CAP725 Airspace Change Guidance and we have also commissioned a Quality Assurance on the process by the Consultation Institute (consultationinstitute.org).
We very much value your input into this process, and hope to receive your response within the next few weeks, if you have not already done so.
