The Government recognises that airspace modernisation is an important enabler to allowing us to build back better and to meet out carbon commitment<\/p>
<\/p>
Airspace modernisation is vital to the future of aviation, to delivering net zero and create opportunities for airports to manage how noise impacts local communities. It is a critical infrastructure programme of national importance that will supporting the aviation sector\u2019s recovery from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>
<\/p>
However, in light of the pandemic, we recognise that the timescales in which airspace modernisation will take place will change. We are working with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to review the Airspace Modernisation Strategy, to consider the recommendations from Airspace Change Organising Group (ACOG\u2019s) recent report \u2018Remobilising the Airspace Change Programme\u2019, and will advise stakeholders of our preferred approach shortly.<\/p>
<\/p>
My officials have and will continue to work closely with all stakeholders to identify ways forward for the programme, considering all options for the future.<\/p>

At the request of DfT and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), the Airspace Change Organisation Group (ACOG) was established in 2019 to coordinate the delivery of key aspects of the Government\u2019s Airspace Modernisation Strategy (AMS), namely the national programme of airspace change amongst major UK airports.<\/p>

<\/p>
The Jet Zero Council (JZC) will take into account all of the decarbonisation levers available to ensure the sector reaches its net zero goals, including Airspace Modernisation. However, it will be primarily focused on driving forward areas that require further coordination where previously, cross-sectoral collaboration was missing; such as zero emission aerospace technology and sustainable aviation fuels (SAF). Critically, the JZC is not seeking to duplicate areas already progressing, such as an agreement on international emissions, or aviation modernisation which has an existing governance/delivery structures in ACOG.<\/p>
