Protecting Every Aspect of Our Airport’s Safety and Security
Airport Safeguarding is the process designed to make sure all appropriate processes are followed which ensure development in the vicinity of airports that could have an impact upon the continuity of safe operations is in accordance with current aeronautical legislation. Its purpose is to ensure that the continuity of safe operations is unaffected.
Wildlife Management
Habitat management is a critical component of our commitment to maintaining a safe and sustainable environment. We employ a combination of tried and tested methods alongside innovative projects to effectively manage the diverse habitats within and around the airport. Our approach includes regular monitoring and maintenance to control vegetation, deter wildlife that could pose risks to aircraft, and preserve the local ecosystem.
We collaborate with environmental experts to implement cutting-edge solutions that balance operational safety with ecological responsibility.
Through these efforts, we ensure that our airport remains a safe, secure, and environmentally conscious hub for aviation.
Drone Permits and Authorisation
Strict regulations govern the use of drones within our Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) to ensure the safety and security of all air traffic. Operators must obtain the necessary permits and authorisations before flying any drone within this restricted airspace.
Our dedicated team works closely with regulatory authorities to facilitate the application process, ensuring that all drone activities comply with legal and safety requirements. This rigorous oversight includes assessing flight plans, verifying operator credentials, and implementing safety measures to prevent any potential disruptions to airport operations.
By enforcing these standards, we maintain a secure and controlled environment for both manned and unmanned aircraft.

Crane Permits
The management of cranes within our vicinity is critical to maintaining safe airspace operations. Any crane activity near the airport requires strict adherence to height restrictions and must obtain the necessary permits before commencement.
Our team works diligently with construction companies and crane operators to review and approve all crane usage, ensuring it does not interfere with flight paths or compromise safety. This process includes detailed assessments of crane height, location, and operation times, with close coordination with air traffic control.
By enforcing these regulations and overseeing crane activities, we ensure that all construction work near the airport is conducted safely and without disrupting airport operations.
