Work on a new National Aviation Policy (NAP) is expected to resume in 2022. While the principal goals and objectives of the NAP published in 2015 remain valid, much has changed in terms of the overall challenges for the aviation sector in Ireland with a heightened focus on environmental sustainability and of course recovery from the negative effects of the Covid-19 pandemic. The process of developing a new strategy for the sector will entail appropriate public consultation as well as close engagement with the aviation industry through the structures of the National Civil Aviation Development Forum.
