ACP reference: ACP-2015-02
Sponsor: Edinburgh Airport Ltd
New SIDs and STARs (Arrival Transitions to Final Approach), RNAV (GNSS) approaches, and revised ILS procedures (as required), re-design of terminal holds and associated STARs (part of NATS' PLAS project).
Following the publication of a redacted version of the Sponsor's final proposal, any stakeholder may submit a 'call in' requesting that the final decision about changes to the design of UK airspace is made by the Secretary of State for Transport rather than the CAA. Stakeholders can review the airport's proposal to assess whether or not it meets any of the call-in criteria. The 'call in' for Edinburgh's Airspace Change Proposal was open until 17:00 17 October 2018. Details on the process and how to submit a request can be found here.
