We have established a reputation with clients and regulators alike for the clarity and accuracy of our work.

What our clients say

Glasgow Prestwick Airport

The team at Sagentia Aviation were outstanding in their approach to our project. They were fully supportive with communication and interaction throughout. The output proved they deliver high quality work.

Leeds Bradford International Airport

When the delivery of a modern safety management system / culture is hard to achieve, Sagentia Aviation is my company of choice for assistance. With access to unrivalled experience and knowledge in safety documentation, auditing wind farms, CAA liaison and major infrastructure projects, they deliver on time. They understand the regulatory and resource challenges regional airports face and can tailor their services accordingly.

E.ON Climate and Renewables

Sagentia Aviation have consistently provided expert advice and technical assessment during the development of major wind farm projects. Their attitude, professionalism and expertise is first class, which has enabled assessment and mitigation to be quickly identified and presented successfully to their Consultees.

MOD

Sagentia Aviation, formerly TP Group, engaged on this task consistently produced the A400M Platform Safety Assessment deliverables, in line with our contract to a very high standard and in a timely fashion. This is particularly noticeable given the very fluid nature of the aircraft delivery programme from the production line, resulting in a very complex set of requirements and customer.

Thales

Sagentia Aviation provided Thales with highly responsive and informed Safety Case support during the delivery of the CAT3 ILS at Manchester Airport. Their continued professional approach to the task was a key contributor to the successful delivery of the project.

Implementation takes centre stage for aviation in 2026

After prolonged uncertainty that left many organisations hesitant to invest, UK aviation is moving out of the holding pattern and into delivery. Sagentia Aviation’s Tom Rasmussen highlights key trends for the coming year.

UK aviation is entering a period of transition. The UK’s airspace – much of it designed in the 1950s – is renowned for being among the most congested in the world, but the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Airspace Modernisation Strategy is starting to gather momentum. At the same time, airports and aerodromes face growing pressure to accommodate new technologies, sustainability goals, and competing ground environment demands. Regulatory processes are evolving too.

So, what lies ahead for aviation in 2026? The below trends highlight how this complex, safety-critical sector is likely to move from planning to implementation across five priority areas.
