For the first time since 2020, no UK airport received a ‘poor’ rating for their accessibility performance over the last year. Between April 2023 and March 2024, our Airport accessibility report rated 11 airports as ‘very good’, but there is mixed progress. As the demand for assistance services increases, 12 airports were rated ‘good’, and only five airports were rated as ‘needs improvement’. Today, we're also announcing our new Airline Accessibility Performance Framework, setting out a key set of standards for airlines on how we expect them to treat all passengers with disabilities and reduced mobility.

We’ve announced new trials to help unlock drone operations in the UK. Six projects have been chosen under a new scheme that'll help safely integrate drones flying beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) into UK airspace, with the trials gathering key safety data, supporting the ongoing development of policy and regulations. Our Director of the Future of Flight Challenge, Sophie O'Sullivan said “These innovative trials mark a significant step forward in integrating drones safely into UK airspace. "By supporting projects ranging from consumer deliveries to critical infrastructure inspections, we are gathering essential data to shape future policies and regulations. “Our goal is to make drone operations beyond visual line of sight a safe and everyday reality, contributing to the modernisation of UK airspace and the incorporation of new technology into our skies.” More information 👉 https://lnkd.in/eY-JmaZY

These are Flight Restriction Zones. The exact shape and size of the restriction zone will vary, but they are generally quite large 👇 The Dronecode 👉 https://lnkd.in/eXDBgVtq
