SI 2026 No. 401 - Revocation of RAF Brize Norton Flying Restrictions
Summary
The UK Statutory Instrument 2026 No. 401 revokes flying restrictions at RAF Brize Norton, removing the prior operational limitations on aircraft movements at the Oxfordshire airbase. This deregulatory measure eliminates compliance obligations previously imposed on operators flying in the affected airspace.
What changed
SI 2026 No. 401 removes the existing flying restrictions applicable to RAF Brize Norton, effectively eliminating any flight limitations, operating hours, or procedural requirements previously mandated at the airbase. The instrument is listed under UK new legislation for 2026.
For aviation operators, pilots, and operators of aircraft frequenting or transiting through the Brize Norton airspace, this revocation means the prior restrictions are no longer in effect. Stakeholders should verify current Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) and consult the Civil Aviation Authority for any updated guidance on operations near the former restricted area.
