Scotland Terminal Control Area
The ScTMA is the busiest and most complex airspace in Scotland, with air traffic controllers routinely managing high volumes of flights to and from Glasgow and Edinburgh airports.
The Scotland Masterplan coordinates changes proposed by Edinburgh and Glasgow Airports to upgrade the arrival and departure routes below 7,000 ft. and National Air Traffic (En Route) Services (NERL), the UK’s main navigation service provider, to upgrade the route network above 7,000 ft.
The ScTMA is on track to submit iteration 3 of the Masterplan in 2025.

The feedback received during this public engagement exercise has been analysed and a summary report published. In the report you will find the feedback received and a response from ACOG, including where the feedback has influenced Iteration 3 of the Masterplan for the ScTMA.
