UKADS Key topics
Answers to frequently asked questions
Why the UKADS is needed As the airspace change masterplan has progressed, it has become clear that the challenges of today’s airspace change model risk the delivery of much-needed modernisation: the complex nature of UK airspace, particularly in the London area neighbouring airports, each having their own requirements, proposing and funding individual airspace change proposals where the airspace designs are interdependent dispersed and scarce expertise in the industry sometimes leading to inconsistent standards and variable quality in airspace change proposal submissions increasing demand from new or developing types of airspace user (such as drones, aerial taxis, high-altitude platforms, space launch) to have routine access to an integrated airspace for all users, but no obvious sponsor to take forward or fund any changes to the airspace design needed to accommodate them.
