Norad shuts airspace over Vancouver for remaining World Cup matches
Military authorities have imposed flying restrictions over Vancouver's inner city airspace, including BC Place Stadium, for the next six FIFA World Cup games hosted in the city.
The Canadian Armed Forces confirmed that the temporary airspace restrictions will be active for three hours before and after each game.
Norad aircraft may fly during game times to maintain continuous aerospace control, aiming to ensure public safety and security.
The president of Seair Seaplanes said the company only learned of the restrictions on Monday and is rebooking customers accordingly while hoping for future consultation.
