Breaking News: Flight Restrictions Lifted Over Nuneaton, Warwickshire

19 September 2025 at 2:59 pm (Europe/London)

The skies over Nuneaton, Warwickshire, are officially open again! In a decision made at precisely 1.45 p.m. on 18th September 2025, the UK government has lifted the emergency flight restrictions that were previously in place. This move comes after the Secretary of State determined that the emergency conditions necessitating the airspace limitations have been resolved and it's now safe for normal aviation activities to resume.

The original restrictions were set by the Air Navigation (Restriction of Flying) (Nuneaton, Warwickshire) (Emergency) Regulations 2025, which aimed to ensure public safety during a recent emergency. However, thanks to the situation being under control, these specific regulations are no longer deemed necessary.

This change is effective immediately, as confirmed by Joe Thompson, a senior executive officer at the Department for Transport. The revocation of these restrictions means that aircraft can now fly freely over Nuneaton without the constraints that were imposed earlier this year.

Stay tuned for more updates as the situation develops, and for the aviation enthusiasts out there, enjoy the unrestricted skies!
