Olympic VIP's

Post by Bloxham Boy » Fri Jul 13, 2012 12:01 pm

Anyone know when the bulk of the VIP's will be arriving for the Olympics and where ? I assume they will be spread all over the South East airports and either the day before or day of both the opening and closing ceremonies ?

Stansted appears to be getting a number of the Heads of State

Luton, Stansted, Farnborough & Biggin Hill (& presumably Oxford?) are all expected to be very busy in the run up to the Opening Ceremony. However, quite a few of the biz are expected to drop the pax off and then position out to other airfields due to limited aircraft parking at those airfields with Cranfield, Manston, Southend, Cambridge, Bournemouth along with others due to be used for parking.

From this article, it seems NATS thinks the busiest day(s) for arrivals will be 2-3 days before the opening ceremony with a few other peak periods during the games
