The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Benwell, Newcastle) (Emergency) (Revocation) Regulations 2024
Background
On October 27, 2024, the UK government issued a Statutory Instrument titled “The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Benwell, Newcastle) (Emergency) (Revocation) Regulations 2024.” This instrument revokes a previous Statutory Instrument, “The Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Benwell, Newcastle) (Emergency) Regulations 2024,” which had been issued on October 26, 2024.
The original Statutory Instrument imposed a temporary airspace restriction over the Benwell area of Newcastle upon Tyne due to an “emergency situation.” The restriction prohibited all aircraft from flying within the airspace, except for aircraft authorized by the Secretary of State for Transport.
Revocation
The new Statutory Instrument revokes the original airspace restriction with effect from October 28, 2024, at 16:04 hours. This means that the airspace over Benwell is now open to all aircraft.
Reason for Revocation
The Statutory Instrument does not provide any specific reason for the revocation of the airspace restriction. However, it is likely that the emergency situation that led to the imposition of the restriction has now been resolved.
Impact
The revocation of the airspace restriction will allow aircraft to resume normal operations in the Benwell area of Newcastle. This will benefit both commercial and private aviation.
Additional Information
The full text of the Statutory Instrument can be found on the UK government’s website.
Conclusion
The revocation of the airspace restriction over Benwell, Newcastle, is a welcome development that will allow aircraft to resume normal operations in the area.
