Strong action will be taken for planes, drones violating G7 no-fly zone, says RCMP

The RCMP announced air restrictions from 6 a.m. June 14 to 11:59 p.m. June 17 around Calgary International Airport and Kananaskis for the G7 Leaders' Summit in Alberta.
Officials established no-fly zones due to concerns over the widespread presence and popularity of drones during the summit hosting international leaders from June 15 to 17.
The no-fly zone radii measure 30 nautical miles around Kananaskis and 20 nautical miles near the airport, with F-18s flying combat air patrols and a counter-drone team deployed.
Mark Basanta of RCMP Protective Operations acknowledged that while using firearms to neutralize unauthorized drones is a last-resort tactic, the authorities possess the means to do so if necessary.
The restrictions aim to prevent drone and aircraft incursions without affecting scheduled commercial flights, suggesting strong enforcement to ensure the summit's airspace security.
