13 September 2012
All airspace restrictions relating to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games have now been lifted, the CAA confirmed today. The last restricted zone, shown as P114 on aviation charts, in place for the Paralympic Games, ended at midnight on Wednesday 12 September.
Praising the role of the General Aviation community in keeping infringements of the restricted zones to a bare minimum during the summer, the CAA’s Chief Executive, Andrew Haines, said, “Establishing such a large airspace security zone for that length of time was unprecedented, particularly as it covered some of the most congested airspace in the world. The fact that it was so successful, is in no small part due to the role played by the GA associations and their members.” <a href=”http://www.caa.co.uk”>Click here for more</a>
