AIR RESTRICTIONS ANNOUNCED
FOR SUPER BOWL SUNDAY

OTTAWA — Transport Canada today announced airspace restrictions that will be in effect around the City of Windsor on February 5, 2006. These restrictions will affect aircraft movement in Southwestern Ontario, particularly in and around the Windsor Airport, from 4:00 p.m. to 11:59 p.m.

Travellers using the airport on this day are urged to check with their air carriers for more information about possible delays.

These airspace restrictions are part of the safety and security requirements for the Super Bowl and are described to pilots in a Notice to Airmen that was issued earlier today by NAV CANADA.

Special arrangements have been made for humanitarian and other safety-related flights to use the airspace as required. Transport Canada has informed air operators of these airspace restrictions in an effort to minimize the impact of the restrictions on the travelling public. General aviation operations such as flight training schools and charter aircraft will be affected during the restrictions.
