Monday 24th March saw the Aviation Industry Symposium which attracted participation from the Civil Aviation Authority, NATS, airports from across the UK and the Irish Republic as well as consultants working in the field.
An excellent opportunity for us to present on the research undertaken by us and The Manchester Metropolitan University for London Gatwick Airport.
To access the full and short versions of the presentation slides, head on over to our Resource page where you can also download the full paper CAP2971: Fair and Equitable Distribution Final Report – Distribution of aircraft noise Gatwick Airport.
Reflecting on the FED2 Symposium, Robin Monaghan, Aviation sector lead at the company commented:-
“It was fantastic to see so many representatives from across the aviation sector join us for our recent symposium on Fair and Equitable Distribution to Minimise Social Unacceptability of Airspace Design Options (FED2).
The level of engagement and discussion showed just how timely and important this topic is as the UK continues to modernise its airspace. It was encouraging to see industry colleagues exploring how fairness can be more explicitly considered in airspace design decisions—and how our framework might support that thinking within processes like CAP1616.
We’re grateful to everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation, and we’re looking forward to the next steps in turning this research into practical tools that support better outcomes for both communities and the aviation industry.”
