Trump visit: Low-flying planes to be banned over parts of the UK

Low-flying aircraft will be banned from parts of the UK being visited by Donald Trump.

Restrictions will affect locations such as central London, Blenheim Palace, Sandhurst, Chequers, Windsor, and Turnberry in Ayrshire, as well as London Stansted and Glasgow Prestwick airports.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) published the restrictions following a request by police forces on the grounds of security.

The rules will be enforced at various times between noon on Thursday and 2pm on Sunday.

Aircraft will initially be banned from flying below 2,500ft above sea level in an area covering London Stansted and the centre of the capital.

Drone operators and recreational pilots will be affected but commercial flights will not be disrupted by the restrictions.

A CAA spokesman said: “Temporary airspace restrictions above a given area are implemented by the Civil Aviation Authority at the request of the police or other emergency services.

“The CAA notifies the aviation community of the restriction through an established process.''
