While the loss of unfettered access to the European Union market has been a huge loss and frustration to UK operators following Brexit, the country’s departure from the bloc will soon deal a blow for UK airspace users. Starting June 25, their ability to perform LPV approaches will be removed following the cessation on that date of the UK’s participation in the space-based EGNOS position-augmentation service, which supports approach guidance for landing aircraft.
