I acknowledge receipt of your email to the CAA under Official Information Act for the following information – CAA's protocol around runway numbering/designations:

1. How often are runway numbers reviewed in response to changes in magnetic north?
2. Is this review the responsibility of CAA or each individual aerodrome operator?
3. Which aerodromes have changed their runway numbers in the last 10 years?
4. Does the CAA publish runway number changes publicly when they occur? If so, where? (other than the aerodrome charts themselves on AIP being updated)

We received your request on 6 March 2024. We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than 5 April 2024, being 20 working days after your request was received and includes public holidays.

If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe. Your request is being handled by the OIA Team. If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us at [CAA request email] with the reference 24/OIR/268.

If any additional factors come to light which are relevant to your request, please do not hesitate to contact us so that these can be taken into account.

Kind regards
