HIAL remains cognisant that the implementation of this ACP has taken considerable time to progress and remains positive as we reach the final stages of implementation. We continue to appreciate the patience and efforts of all stakeholders for their support and perseverance over the many years in achieving our aim of implementing controlled airspace, resulting in a safer operating environment for all airspace users and Inverness Airport.

Inverness Airport Airspace Change Update March 2025
The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Instrument Flight Procedure (IFP) Regulator has recently completed the review of the IFP submission for the HIAL Inverness ACP. Following the submission of the ACP Addendum in June 2024, there have been no further changes, and the IFP Regulator is now satisfied that the proposed final procedure designs can be flight validated. The CAA has requested that HIAL provide the CAA with an updated target AIRAC implementation for the ACP. The Inverness ACP Project Team has identified AIRAC 12/25, which will enable the potential implementation of the new procedures, that will be contained within the new Controlled Airspace to be the 27 November 2025. This date will be subject to further agreement from the CAA as to whether or not they approve or reject the ACP, which is expected to be available on the 25 July 2025.
