Middle East travel advice

As a result of the ongoing situation in the Middle East, many flights to and from the region are cancelled.

The Department for Transport (DfT) and the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) have considered the responses to our consultation (CAP 3029) and have decided to create a new UK Airspace Design Service (UKADS). This will initially be tasked to NATS (En Route) plc (NERL) through a change to its air traffic services licence.

This Consultation Response Document summarises the high-level outcomes of the consultation by topic. Where we can, we have explained how we intend to proceed, and what we are changing in light of the consultation, with a cross-reference to the consultation questions.
