Re the Olympics, earlier this year the Department for Transport commissioned a study into helicopter usage in and around London over the summer period in 2012. The study was carried out by Atkins plc (an engineering company and consultancy) who had previously carried out a study for DfT into airport capacity in the South East for the Olympics. During the helicopter study, for which Atkins co-opted a helicopter consultant, industry was widely consulted. The report, which has not yet been published, is expected to recommend that government decisions (by Home Office, Foreign Office and MoD) as to the size and scope of any exclusion zones and restricted airspace are made as soon as possible, in order to allow helicopter companies and HLS operators to start planning for an expected customer demand.
