Aviation regulatory update 2022/2023

Developments in aviation regulation

The year 2022 has seen several significant developments in respect of aviation regulation, with the UK Government launching a number of aviation policy reforms and consultations focused on the recovery of the aviation sector, implementing the lessons learned and experiences gained from the pandemic, and preparing the sector for a more sustainable future to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. The pipeline of regulations and legislative measures for 2023 is likely to include the implementation of the outcomes and responses to these various consultations on consumer rights and protections, sustainability, the recovery of aviation (e.g., airline licensing and slots), and the development and growth of the sector (in particular relating to air navigation, unmanned aircraft, and digital and technical advancements).
