People are warned not to fly kites that could get in the way of planes.

Skyport advised kites should not be flown in the Ferry Reach area, Kindley Field Road and the Clearwater area of St David’s.

It said if kites are flown in these areas, they could end up in the path of aircraft as they arrive and depart LF Wade International Airport.

Lonnie Bascome, air operations officer at Skyport, said: “Kite-flying is a much-loved tradition in Bermuda, and while we support the public having responsible fun, safety is paramount to Bermuda Skyport.

“We would like everyone who plans to celebrate the Easter holiday in the eastern parishes to abide by these restrictions to ensure there are no safety hazards.”
