answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/03/2019 answer text <p>Airports are responsible for the specific arrangements for low-level flightpaths and proposals to alter these arrangements must be approved by the Civil Aviation Authority’s (CAA) Airspace Change Process.

This will then be taken into consideration by the CAA when making its final regulatory decision on the proposal.</p><p> </p><p>Heathrow Airport Limited is responsible for taking forward the airspace arrangements it needs and is currently at the start of the second stage of the process, which is ‘Option Development’.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Sugg question first answered 12/03/2019 14:27:26 answering member 4584 label Biography information for Baroness Sugg
