Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what recent assessment his Department has made of the factors that contribute to airspace infringements in the UK.

There has been a significant focus over many years on this issue and the CAA continues to work with air traffic control providers, general aviation groups and other stakeholders to raise awareness and to reduce the risk of infringement.

The main factors relate to pre-flight planning, but the CAA-led Airspace Infringement Working Group (AIWG) has recently conducted further work to identify causal factors, the results of which are currently being assessed.
