Regulated Aviation Services

The Met Office plays a vital role in aviation safety both in the UK and globally. We offer tools and services for route planning, air traffic management, specialist forecasts, and training to enhance operational efficiency and safety.

As a Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) designated provider of services, we support UK pilots, airlines, and airports with free meteorological information. Internationally, we improve flight safety and fuel efficiency as a World Area Forecast Centre and Volcanic Ash Advisory Centre, and through projects like SESAR, we continually enhance the delivery of weather information.
