Airspace restrictions in place for Queen's funeral

Airspace restrictions are being put in place during the period of mourning and the funeral of Her Majesty The Queen.

Two restrictions have been published so far. They cover Balmoral Castle to Edinburgh, and Central London. There will be an additional central London and Windsor restriction issued in due course. All restrictions also apply to drones.

Any non-standard flight (NSF) or enhanced non–standard flight (ENSF) clearances within the London restriction, are withdrawn for the duration.
