East Midlands Airspace Changes Postponed At Airport?s Request

CAA Press Release, 16/09/04

The implementation of proposed airspace changes in the East Midlands area,
which were approved by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) in August, have
been postponed at the request of Nottingham East Midlands Airport (NEMA).

NEMA requested a delay to the airspace change to enable it to carry out
some further consultation on the proposal. The new timeframe is presently
unknown, but it is unlikely that the airspace changes will come into effect
before March 2005. Formal notification of the change will be issued when an
implementation date is known.

Notes to Editors

The CAA is the UK's specialist aviation regulator. Its activities include:
making sure that the aviation industry meets the highest technical and
operational safety standards; preventing holidaymakers from being stranded
abroad or losing money because of tour operator insolvency; planning and
regulating all UK airspace; and regulating airports, air traffic services
and airlines and providing advice on aviation policy from an economic
standpoint.
