Without airspace modernisation, delays could increase significantly⚠️ Forecasts show this could see 1 in 5 flights experiencing disruption of over 45 minutes. Read more about why we need to upgrade in our latest report: acog.aero/blog/2024/10/1…

Modernisation will future proof the UK’s airspace for new and growing technologies, such as drones and air taxis. The successful integration of emerging technologies is essential to avoid further congestion and ensure the continued safety of all. oneskyoneplan.uk/why-modernise/…

Our partners at NATS have provided a deeper insight into the upgrades that are already underway in the UK's airspace. Head to our website to read about the West Airspace and Free Route Airspace deployments: acog.aero/blog/2024/11/0…

Airspace modernisation is expected to create more airspace capacity and improve passenger experience by accommodating new flights and destinations, giving better value and more choice for consumers 🛫 More here: acog.aero/about-acog/why…

The AMS is built on 4 objectives: Safety- Maintaining and improving aviation safety Integration- Bringing together diverse airspace users Simplification- Reducing complexity, improving efficiency Sustainability- Aligning with the UK’s environmental goals. oneskyoneplan.uk/the-process/

It was encouraging to hear several speakers at Monday’s Airlines UK conference mention airspace modernisation as key for driving efficiency and sustainability in the industry. ACOG is proud of its role of ensuring our airspace is fit for the future 🛫

Manchester Airports Group has shared with us why they believe airspace modernisation is important, and how it will benefit their many stakeholders: acog.aero/blog/2024/11/2…

In the lead up to Christmas, we will be showcasing 12 days of airspace modernisation, getting you up-to-date with the latest facts and stats. First up, did you know that around 2.5 million flights pass through the UK's airspace per year?

Did you know there are 20 UK airports, plus NATS, who are working together alongside ACOG to modernise airspace, ensuring it's fit for the future? ✈️ Together, we're paving the way for smoother, greener skies and more efficient journeys.

Airspace modernisation will leverage modern technologies, like Performance Based Navigation, to fly more direct routes, achieve quicker climbs and make later descents. 'Tis the season for boosting efficiency 🎁

Just like (Christmas) trees reduce carbon, airspace modernisation will mean fewer carbon emissions per flight. This will be achieved through more direct and efficient routes 🎄

Aviation is vital to the UK economy, supporting 960,000 jobs and contributing £52 billion to overall GDP. Modernisation will ensure the industry can maintain important global connections, boosting economic growth 🌍

Santa is just one of many users of our airspace. Modernising airspace will ensure that existing and new users can all access airspace and integrate safely 🎅🏽 🛫

Did you know, ACOG's role is to coordinate changes proposed from all participating airports, into one co-ordinated Airspace Change Masterplan? 📖

Christmas is a time that brings family together, and airspace modernisation will help to facilitate new routes and destinations from our airports.

Modernisation is set to improve the resilience of the airspace network through less congestion - reducing the chances of delays, leaving you to enjoy your holiday celebrations and arrive to your loved ones on time 👪🎄

Airspace structures haven't changed significantly for the last 70 years, despite newer tech being available and huge increases in flight numbers in the sky. Modernisation will gift airspace the 21st century updates it desperately needs 🎁✈️

Many UK businesses depend on flights to get their goods to you 🎁 So, just like Santa on Christmas eve, modernising airspace will help to ensure your parcels continue to arrive when you want them!

The number of flights using UK airspace has now returned to pre-pandemic levels and is predicted to grow further. As we approach a new year, ACOG looks forward to continuing to work with airports and NATS to upgrade our airspace infrastructure, making it fit for the future.
