Plans to fast-track the remodelling of the UK’s flight paths could lead to quicker flights and fewer delays for passengers.
That’s according to a statement from the government.
Ministers are set to announce the creation of the UK Airspace Design Service later which will re-design the routes planes must take over UK airspace – many of which were decided around 70 years ago.
The initial shake-up will focus on modernising the complex airspace in and around London.
However, any changes are not expected to come into effect for some years.
