The Civil Aviation Authority should be contacted if 5000 or more balloons are being released. If your release is fewer than 5000 balloons, no action need be taken unless an airport is close by. The CAA telephone number is: 020 7453 6585 or 020 7453 6599 and ask for Mr Miller.
The postal address is:
Airspace Utilisation Section, Directorate of Airspace Policy, Civil Aviation Authority,
K102, CAA House, 45-59 Kingsway, London WC2B 6TE
Airports within a ten mile radius of the release should be contacted direct.
