Fighter jets deployed after civilian aircraft entered G7 no-fly zone above Kananaskis
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) deployed fighter jets to intercept a civilian aircraft on Sunday after it entered a no-fly zone in place for the G7 summit. The fixed-wing aircraft travelled into restricted air space above the Kananaskis area, according to a news release from the G7 Integrated Safety and Security Group. CF-18 Hornet fighter jets were sent to intercept the aircraft. NORAD's Canadian region took "multiple steps" to get the pilot's attention before resorting to "final warning measures" to contact the pilot. Eventually, the pilot landed the civilian aircraft safely under their own power. "It is every pilot's responsibility to ensure that there are no restrictions in the air space they intend to fly," the release said. "These incidents take away resources that could be utilized in police work and securing the summit site." Temporary air space restrictions over both Calgary and Kananaskis have been in place since Saturday morning. One no-fly zone is centred on Kananaskis village and has a radius of 30 nautical miles. Another is centred on the Calgary International Airport and has a radius of 20 nautical miles. Restrictions in both locations will be enforced until midnight Tuesday. Authorities carve out no-fly zones ahead of G7 summit in Kananaskis 16 days ago Duration 1:20 RCMP say if recreational aircraft fly into restricted airspace, they should expect serious consequences. The CBC's Terri Trembath tells us how authorities plan to protect the skies over the provincial park and in Calgary. NORAD is a U.S.-Canada bi-national organization responsible for aerospace warning and control. The organization is using aircraft and personnel from both the Canadian and U.S. militaries to protect world leaders and other people attending the G7. The incident is still under investigation, according to the Integrated Safety and Security Group.

Fighter jets scramble to intercept aircraft that strayed into Kananaskis airspace, breaching G7 restrictions
A civilian aircraft violated Kananaskis airspace restrictions late Sunday morning, Mounties say. RCMP issued a release about the incident Sunday evening. The incident happened just after 11 a.m. 'North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), in support of the RCMP-led Integrated Safety and Security Group (ISSG), had to deploy air assets after a private, fixed-wing, civilian aircraft violated the air restrictions centered above Kananaskis airspace,' RCMP say. According to RCMP, the situation met the criteria for CF-18 Hornet fighter jets to be deployed to intercept the aircraft. Mounties say 'multiple steps were taken to gain the pilot's attention.' Mounties also say the fighter jets 'employed final warning measures to contact the pilot and have them safely land under their own power.' The incident is under investigation, but RCMP say it does not appear there was any criminal intent involved. RCMP say it appears this was a wayward flier. But RCMP also say that doesn't take away from the seriousness of the situation. 'It is every pilot's responsibility to ensure that there are no restrictions in the airspace they intend to fly,' RCMP say. 'These incidents take away resources that could be utilized in police work and securing the summit site.' In Sunday's release, RCMP offered reminders of two restricted airspace areas: 'CYR 292 is centred on Kananaskis Village (N50°55′22' W115°08′37″) with a radius of 30 NM (nautical miles), excluding the Calgary / Springbank Airport (CYBW) Control Zone. CYAs 226 and 227 will not be active," RCMP said. 'CYR 293 is centred on Calgary International Airport (N51°07′21.41' W114°00′48.05″) with a radius of 20 NM, excluding CYR 292 and including the Calgary / Springbank Airport (CYBW) Control Zone. CYA 228 will not be active." Mounties say more information is available at
