Border Force does not have the requested data prior to 2012/13. Since then we have made improvements to our command and control of general aviation, including our national statistical reporting, and are able to provide full details from 2013 onwards.

During 2013/14 Border Force a) attended 27,299 flights and remotely cleared 18,885 flights

During 2014/15 Border Force a) attended 27,033 flights and remotely cleared 32,042

The figures quoted are management information, subject to internal quality checks and may be subject to change.
