Require public consultation before airfields and aerodromes can be closed

Petition Details

Airfields and aerodromes play a vital role in the UK's transportation network, economic growth, emergency services, and heritage. However, some sites may be closed and redeveloped, often without sufficient public consultation or long-term strategic consideration.

Additional Information

We urge Parliament to legislate or amend laws such that no airfield/aerodrome is closed & redeveloped without formal consultation involving public, industry, and government. Each site’s strategic value should be assessed, with DfT input required. We think airfields should be recognised as critical infrastructure supporting aviation, emergency services, military, and economic growth. We think preserving them is vital for the UK’s role in the Advanced Air Mobility Revolution and emerging sustainable air transport.
