Details

Higher airspace operations (HAOs) take place in airspace above where conventional aircraft operate (over 60,000 feet) and present significant opportunities for the UK and our international partners to potentially enable the innovative transport of people and goods.

The UK, USA, Canada, the EU and its member states and Japan have issued a joint statement calling on the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) to work towards achieving harmonised rules and global standards for HAOs.
