Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, when his Department last audited the Civil Aviation Authority's airspace change process.

The UK’s independent airspace regulator, the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), is responsible for its own airspace change process. However, the CAA is required to ensure that its airspace change process is consistent with the Government’s Air Navigation Guidance and Air Navigation Directions, as updated in October 2017.

Officials from the Department continue to work closely with the CAA to ensure its compliance with both the Guidance and the Directions.
