Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what progress has been made on the proposed Luton Airport airspace changes Luton 26 BPK RNP1 SID; and if he will make a statement.

This proposed airspace change is being considered under the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) CAP 1616 airspace change process. Progress can be monitored on the CAA’s website at the following link entitled “London Luton – departure procedures”:

At present, the expectation is that the airport might consult on this proposal next summer.
