The UK’s Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has officially confirmed that Father Christmas has been given all necessary approvals to operate his annual flight across the UK this Christmas Eve.
Following a thorough inspection by a team of qualified flight inspectors; Santa’s sleigh has been given the green light to ensure a safe and smooth journey this coming Wednesday night.
As the big day approaches fast with just hours until Santa will be taking to the skies and flying over Penrith to make his Christmas Deliveries to those on his nice list, Father Christmas will not be turned away or chased by RAF Jets as he enters UK air space and tries to land after the Civil Aviation Authority granted Santa the green light to fly in and land on Christmas Eve.
Father Christmas now has all the required approvals to fly on Christmas Eve. The Civil Aviation Authority has also confirmed that his sleigh has passed vital Elf and safety checks ahead of taking to the air.
Santa told us he requested the flight clearance for the UK after a few issues in America over the last week when his elves have been causing a spot of bother in the skies over the the USA in the last few weeks when checking his flight path and delivery routes.
The CAA has stated that it has carried out all necessary checks to ensure an issue-free flight this Christmas Eve:
All elf and safety checks are complete
Rudolph’s nose is bright enough to guide the sleigh through adverse weather conditions
Mistletoe has been stowed safely in overhead lockers
Christmas cheer is handled by qualified experts
The sleigh bells are ringing at an acceptable decibel level
Reindeer have been granted their rooftop runway rights
Giancarlo Buono, Director of Safety and Airspace Regulation at the UK Civil Aviation Authority, said:, said:
Santa is cleared for take-off and ready to deliver Christmas cheer across the globe. So, if you are flying this festive season, follow Santa’s example and pack safe fly safe.
With the confirmation Santa is ready to begin his journey, the CAA has also advised potential passengers to Pack Safe, Fly Safe to avoid delays and keep everyone moving this holiday season.
For everyone staying home and enjoying Christmas in Penrith this year Santa has said that even if the A66 is closed his ride will get across the North Pennines so he can make his deliveries thanks to his flight clearance by the CAA that will let him fly to every part of the country with the help of his new carrot powered elfla as he calls it although it looks very much like 9 reindeers and a sleigh to us.
Santa said that he is not sure how often he will need to charge up his elfla so has been asking for carrots to be left out to help him charge on the go on Christmas Eve.
Santa will be carrying our Penrith.Town Santa tracker with him on Christmas Eve so you can track his journey around Penrith on Tuesday night.
