Changes to flight paths will be confirmed through a separate airspace change process which is determined by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA ). Classification: Confidential
Classification: Confidential HEATHROW CONSULTATIONS Early in the New Year, we will start our public consultations on expansion at Heathrow to inform the development of our development consent and third runway airspace change applications. There will be two consultations – one on the physical designs and mitigation, another on principles around designs for future airspace. Across the two consultations, we will be asking for views on our plans to reduce noise impacts, design flight paths for the future, improve public transport links, invest in new green spaces and open up new investment in training and skills across the local area . Expansion DCO (2 stage consultation) Airspace (3 stage consultation) • • Consultation 1 Consultation 1 – ‘Design principles’ • Consultation 2 - ‘Design envelopes’ • Consultation 2 • Consultation 3 - ‘Flight path options’ Unlike the approval to build the physical infrastructure for an expanded airport will be granted via the Development Consent Order (DCO).
