UK Airspace Design and Coordination Services

We have published today:

• Decision to modify the licence held by NATS (En Route) plc (NERL) to support the implementation of a UK Airspace Design Service
• Guidance for the UK Airspace Design and Coordination Services
• Requirements for the UK Airspace Coordination Service and associated guidance

NERL will provide these key services which are central to the Government’s approach to modernising UK airspace.

We have also published outcomes from the autumn 2025 consultations along with responses to final proposals to modify NERL’s licence.

More information, including our background document on modernising airspace the way we do design, is available on our website.
