A private, fixed-wing, civilian aircraft violated the air restrictions centered above the G7 Summit in Kananaskis air space on Sunday just after 11am.

As a result NORAD, the North American Aerospace Defence Command, deployed air assets – CF-18 Hornet fighter jets – to intercept.

According to the RCMP-led Integrated Safety and Security Group, multiple steps were taken to gain the pilot’s attention before final warning measures were issued to contact the pilot and have them safely land under their own power. Police say the plane landed safely. With this incident still under investigation, authorities say “no further details will be provided at this time.”

The temporary air restrictions over Calgary and Kananaskis have been in place since June 14th at 6am.

The RCMP and ISSG note it is every pilot’s responsibility to ensure that there are no restrictions in the air space they intend to fly in. Learn more about the G7 airspace restrictions here.
