Full details here.
Following consultation, an Airspace Change Proposal has been submitted by NATS Glasgow seeking the reclassification of the Glasgow Control Area (CTA) from airspace Class E to Class D. However, following an AIRPROX incident on 23 July 2011 between a glider and civil air transport aircraft within the existing Class E Glasgow CTA, DAP considers that a safety critical risk exists.

This reclassification will take effect at 0001(Z) on 16 September 2011 and will be subject to NOTAM and AIC action.
