<p>The National Air Traffic Services (NATS) undertook initial fast time simulation
work for the Airports Commission to assess the possible implications arising from
the indicative airspace design for a third runway at Heathrow Airport. This work took
account of the likely air traffic demands of airports across the South East, including
RAF Northolt.</p><p> </p><p>Heathrow Airport’s airspace design proposals for the third
runway are following the Civil Aviation Authority’s airspace change process. This
is a thorough process requiring extensive consultation with communities and other
stakeholders, including the military and airports that may be affected by the proposal.
To date Heathrow Airport has held a public consultation on its design principles as
well as second consultation on its proposed design envelopes. The airport is expected
to launch its statutory consultation on flightpath design options in 2022.</p><p>
