Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • The consultation is a formal step in the CAA’s airspace modernisation agenda and will shape how future airspace redesigns are assessed and approved, affecting airports, airlines and ANSPs; see the CAA’s earlier 18‑month study into eVTOL integration for related programme context.
  • The move mirrors broader international efforts to update ATC and airspace systems, aligning with initiatives such as the U.S. Request for Solutions for next‑generation ATC.
  • Outcomes from the consultation could influence regulatory timelines and investment planning for modernization projects, similar to recent U.S. steps to invite proposals for an ATC prime integrator.
