The G-8 Summit will be held at Sea Island, Georgia from June 8-10, 2004. Before and during the summit, the President of the United States and a number of world leaders will arrive in the area for the summit meetings. Because the event has been designated a National Special Security Event, the United States Secret Service is the lead agency in charge of security design, planning and implementation.
To ensure the airspace is secure during this event, airspace restrictions will be in place around Sea Island and Savannah, Georgia. The restrictions are designed to provide a safe and secure environment for the summit, but also ensure fair and equitable access to all airspace users, to the greatest extent possible. The restrictions will allow commercial flight operations to continue and are designed to minimize the impact on private pilots.
