“London Implements No-Fly Zone for Drones During King Charles’ Coronation”

Drone flights have been banned in central London ahead of the king’s coronation on Saturday. The ban is part of a range of security measures being taken to prevent any possible disruption. Air traffic controllers have issued a special notice to air missions, banning drone flights below 2,500ft in a 2.5-mile radius from central London. Gatwick airport was closed for a time in December 2018 due to reported drone sightings, which spurred the anti-drone security industry. Met police officers are expected to use radar systems to detect potential drones on Saturday and have urged people to leave their drones at home. Industry experts say that distinguishing between birds and drones is a key challenge.
