5 Foreword London will host the Olympic Games between 27 July and 12 August 2012 and the Paralympic Games between 29 August and 9 September The city will be welcoming hundreds of thousands of visitors from around the world to enjoy and participate in the Games and surrounding events. Most overseas visitors will arrive and depart on scheduled flights to one of the many well-connected airports in or around London. But others will wish to use private or chartered aircraft. This will present a challenge, in terms of both airport capacity on the ground and managing the airspace over South East England, which is already among the most crowded in the world. To deal with this challenge the Government is proposing to introduce new measures to help control the flow of aircraft during the Games period. This will include the need for prior booking of arrival and departure slots at all airports and airfields in South East England: aircraft will not be permitted to operate without these. There will also be new airspace control measures in place, both for capacity and security reasons. London s largest airports are already heavily used. Heathrow in particular will have no spare capacity to accommodate additional aircraft movements during the Games period. However, South East England is fortunate to be served by a wide range of other airports, both large and small, as this booklet illustrates. All of the airports and airfields featured here are able and ready to take additional private and non-scheduled commercial flights during the Games period. They have been listed on the basis that they are within an approximate 120 minute journey to the main Games site at Stratford, either by rail or by road. The information they have supplied here is intended to provide an initial guide to what is available and where. Those wishing to operate non-scheduled flights during the Games period are encouraged to make use of the contacts supplied to confirm details and availability. Early contact is recommended, especially for those who have particular needs or preferences as regards location, type of aircraft, or timings. Many operators are making their plans now. Slots at peak times are expected to be subject to heavy demand, and are likely to be fully subscribed well before the Games at many airports. The airports in and around London look forward to welcoming you in 2012 but please make your arrangements as early as possible to ensure that your needs can be met.

While the Department for Transport (DfT) and its partners and agents have made every effort to ensure the information in this document is correct, the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of that information cannot be guaranteed and no liability can be accepted for any loss or damages of any kind resulting from reliance on the information this document contains. 2. It should be noted that not all of the airports featured provide full Air Traffic Control services and some are outside the controlled airspace structure. Operators should contact the airport of their choice to ensure that their individual needs can be satisfied in this respect. 3. It should be noted that possibilities for helicopter transfer to and from Central London, as referred to in some entries, are likely to be limited during the Games period. 1
