FOI Requests, Civil Aviation Authority

Dear Mr Henderson

Further to our email below, there was a major fire in the Kingsway area of London on 1 April. This took place adjacent to the CAA's London office, where our airspace and environmental research teams are based, and we had no access to the building between 1 April and 14 April. While our contingency plans were implemented to ensure that our work continued as normally as possible, we had to prioritise essential services during that period.

Unfortunately this is having an impact on our ability to provide you with a response to your request, although we will endeavour to respond fully as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely

A request for information on a"procedural change to the Compton departure" from Heathrow has elicited a detailed response from CAA . See

https://www.caa.co.uk/uploadedFiles/CAA/...

T Henderson left an annotation ()

On checking this page, I find that the "procedural change " disclosure I mentioned in the annotation has a link that is now dead. The archived file is currently available at https://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov....

where I was puzzled that I could not find it listed under airspace but is listed under airports.
