A statement from the UK Civil Aviation Authority following the sentencing of David Henderson at Cardiff Crown Court.

Commenting, Rob Bishton, Group Director Safety and Airspace Regulation at the UK Civil Aviation Authority said:

“Our thoughts remain with the families and friends that were affected by this tragic accident in January 2019. Illegal commercial flights represent a significant safety risk and that is reflected in the court's decision today.

“The aviation system relies on the integrity of all those involved. Anyone operating a commercial flight should always have the necessary licence and approvals in place. ”
