The Grenada Airports Authority (GAA) informs the public that flying kites in the vicinity of airports is strictly prohibited.
This includes, but is not limited to, Calliste, Frequente, Fort Jeudy, St Paul’s, Mt Parnassus, Mt Moritz, and the surrounding area of Lauriston Airport in Carriacou.
Kite flying presents a significant safety risk to aircraft operations. Kites can be ingested into aircraft engines or entangled in propellers, leading to potential engine failure and posing serious hazards to passengers and people on the ground.
The Grenada Airports Authority calls on the public to cooperate and refrain from flying kites in these restricted areas to ensure safe air travel.
To reinforce this, the Grenada Airports Authority will work closely with the Royal Grenada Police Force to address any violations of this safety notice.
As we approach the Easter season, let us all make a collective effort to ensure a safe and enjoyable kite-flying experience for all.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
GAA
