Members travelling via the capital’s London Heathrow Airport (LHR) from 13 September should anticipate disruption and reconfirm flights if environmental activists proceed with plans to halt airport operations by flying toy drones. The ‘Heathrow Pause’ (HP) group has said it will operate the drones within a restricted three-mile (5km) zone around the facility from 03.00 (local time) daily, but outside flight paths. The airport authorities will be given one hour’s notice of each drone launch. HP is protesting against the planned expansion of the airport, which it says is incompatible with the government’s commitment to reduce carbon emissions.
