Title: The Manchester Low Level Route (MLLR)
Amend ID: CRA-1991-2023-002
Purpose of this amendment: The MLLR, currently designated as Class D controlled airspace, benefits from a temporary exemption permitting aircraft to fly through it under specific conditions. This exemption, crucial for MLLR operations, was due to expire on 31st May 2024. Our comprehensive review, incorporating stakeholder input and safety data analysis, has identified safety concerns, such as the increased risk of mid-air collisions. The current configuration of the airspace, along with its temporary exemption status, is misaligned with our long-term operational objectives. Consequently, we propose reclassifying and modifying the MLLR to enhance safety and efficiency, aligning it with overarching UK aviation policy objectives.
Status: Approved
The UK Civil Aviation Authority has approved an airspace change to the Manchester Low-Level Route (MLLR), which will see the MLLR replaced with a new volume of airspace, EGR323 North West Transit Corridor.
This amendment will come into effect on 20 February 2025.
