WORKING WITH STAKEHOLDERS IS CENTRAL TO OUR EFFORTS IN BEING A responsible business.
At Farnborough Airport, communicating with our neighbours, stakeholders and community partners is a cornerstone of what we do. The Farnborough Aerodrome Consultative Committee (FACC) is an independent forum where we interact with local public agencies, residential communities and Airport users on a range of topics. FACC meetings take place three times per year.

The current airspace arrangement came into force at the end of February 2020 after a full airspace change which began in 2012 and included two public consultations in 2014 and 2016. The end of the airspace change process requires a CAA review, this was published by them, on 15th April 2025. The Report of the CAA’s Post Implementation Review of Farnborough Airport’s Airspace Change Proposal (CAP2586) concludes that “the change has produced the intended outcomes, and that the implemented design satisfactorily achieves, within acceptable tolerance limits, the objectives and terms of the CAA’s approval. As a result, the airspace change is confirmed.” Farnborough Airport is very pleased with the confirmation of this airspace change.
If you would like to learn more about airspace, please visit Farnborough Airport's Noise & Track system, which allows you to view the airborne activity around the airport. The layer information in this tool is to help stakeholders visualise the areas where overflight will typically occur.
The aim of UK airspace modernisation is the delivery of quicker, quieter and cleaner journeys and to create more benefit for those who use and are affected by aviation. This is co-sponsored by the Government and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), whose Airspace Modernisation Strategy (AMS) outlines the initiatives needed to deliver modernisation.
Future Airspace Strategy Implementation South (FASI South), aims to upgrade the airspace structure and route network that serves London and the Southeast of the UK. Together, the industry is working to deliver FASI South through a coordinated programme of Airspace Change Proposals (ACPs). The Airports participating in FASI South are responsible for upgrading the arrival and departure routes that support their operations from the ground to 7,000 feet, with NATS En Route Limited (NERL) responsible for upgrading the airspace structure and route network above 7,000 feet.
