Major Events Act 2009

For the purposes of this section, a Ministerial order may prescribe airspace as advertising controlled airspace for a major event.

The advertising controlled airspace must be within the line of sight of a major event area for the major event.

A person must not display an advertisement, or cause an advertisement to be displayed, in advertising controlled airspace, except with the approval of the responsible authority for the major event concerned.

An application for the approval of the responsible authority under this section may be made in such form and manner as is determined by the responsible authority.

The responsible authority may determine an application by granting the application, unconditionally or subject to conditions, or by refusing the application.

For the purposes of this section, the responsible authority may grant approval to a person, or to classes or descriptions of persons, only if in its opinion the display of the advertisement will not adversely affect the organisation or conduct of the major event.

The determination of the responsible authority with respect to an application for approval is final.

For the purposes of this section—

skywriting or signwriting by an aircraft,

a banner, or other sign, towed by or attached to an aircraft,

matter displayed on an aircraft, other than its normal markings and livery,
