GLASGOW Airport is to host a series of drop-in sessions to give information about potential airspace changes.

The airport launched a 13 week public consultation on the proposed changes, which would alter flightpaths for the first time in decades.

Members of the public can attend one of four sessions taking place throughout February and March.

They are all from 10am to 7pm on: February 20 at Holiday Inn Glasgow Airport; Johnstone Town Hall on February 27; Rutherglen Town Hall on March 14; and Bearsden Community Hub on March 16.

Mark Johnston, operations director at Glasgow Airport, said: “The flight paths used at Glasgow Airport have not changed in decades and, as is the case with the wider UK airspace infrastructure, they are simply no longer fit for purpose.

“We are committed to growing the airport responsibly and modernising our airspace will help us achieve that, however, it is important our communities and stakeholders are fully involved in this modernisation process and we will only make these changes once we have considered their views.

“These drop-in sessions are an important part of the 13-week airspace change consultation.

"They will provide people with an opportunity to meet with members of the Glasgow Airport team and learn more about our proposals.”
