Regional Information
Please note - on February 23 2009 NATS announced that it is to conduct a new consultation on revised proposals for the TCN region. Following simulation and technical testing of those new designs there is still more work to be done before we publish our plans for this part of the airspace. That work is on-going and we are unlikely, therefore, to make a decision on a date for further consultation until later in the summer.
The information on this website relates to the 2008 consultation, which closed in June 2008, and is being kept live for information only. The new proposals will be posted on this site when the new consultation begins.
The airspace over the TCN region is one of the most congested in the world covering a large part of London, southern and eastern England.
The region includes the major airports at Heathrow, Stansted, Luton and London City, as well as 59 smaller airfields. Aircraft also fly through the airspace at higher altitudes en route to other destinations.
We have divided the region into five areas to make it easier for people to see what impact the change might have on their specific locality.
However, airspace does not conform to boundaries on the ground so if you are close to one of the boundaries that we have defined you may be interested in the changes affecting the neighbouring area.
