Civic Licensing – Public Entertainment : Motion to ban Military Aircraft Flypasts

As reported in Edinburgh Live and STV News on 5th May 2025: Edinburgh ‘ban’ on Red Arrows and RAF fighter jet flights proposed – Edinburgh Live


Following up on last year, where the demand to ban Edinburgh Tattoo Flypasts was submitted to the Full Council meeting on 27th June 2024 as a question: Civic Licensing – Public Entertainment : Demand to ban Tattoo Flypasts

The demand was re-iterated this year, and submitted to the Full Council meeting on 8th May 2025 as a motion:

By Councillor Heap – Public Entertainment Licences (Aircraft flypasts)

“Council notes:
1)         That some events in the city involve aircraft flypasts, often at low altitude.
2)         That many people find such events entertaining, though others may experience the flypasts as a nuisance, or distressing.
3)         Also that allowing events with polluting flypasts performed purely for entertainment is not compatible with the city’s Net Zero targets.

Council therefore agrees:
4)         A report by the first Full Council meeting after summer recess exploring the methods by which the Council could stop aircraft displays including, but not limited, to the attachment of a condition to public entertainment licences.
5)         “Aircraft displays” includes aircraft powered by fossil fuels, including jet; turboprop and helicopter aircraft, but does include drones nor model aircraft.”
