July 11, 2012 - The UK Civil Aviation Authority
(CAA) has on Tuesday launched a four year
program to help improve aviation’s environmental
performance and allow the sector to grow
sustainably.
CAA and the Environment sets out the CAA’s
activities over the next four years to
facilitate, advise, influence and regulate the
aviation sector so its environmental impacts can
be reduced.
The strategy was developed following a public
consultation earlier this year that attracted
responses from across the aviation industry and
follows the CAA’s ‘insight note’ on the
environmental impacts of aviation, which was
released in December last year. Improving
environmental performance is one of the CAA’s
overarching objectives.
The strategy mostly co-ordinates existing work
such as progressing the Future Airspace Strategy
(FAS) and proposes new activities only where the
CAA has a clear role to play, the capacity to
deliver those activities, and can do so in a
cost-effective way.
