Border Force does not have the requested data prior to 2012/13. The number of General Aviation flights Border Force were notified of since 2012/13 is shown in the table below. Border Force carries out checks on all General Aviation flights notified.
| Year | Number of notified GA flights |
| 2013/14 | 53,434 |
| 2012/13 | 43,556 |
We do not comment on flight prioritisation on the grounds of operational security. Border Force carries out checks on all GA flights notified.
