What is Project Pegasus?

Project Pegasus delivers an enhanced 'vigilance' capability within the aviation communities of the United Kingdom and Northern Ireland, providing a hostile environment to terrorism, organised crime, and threat such as illegal immigration and smuggling.

Through enhanced criminal and counter terrorist awareness and a promotion in exchange of information an intelligence between border policing partners, our airfields and surrounding communities can continue to be a safe place to live, work and relax for all.

How does Project Pegasus work?

Project Pegasus through the provision of a central localised number, provides a mechanism for the reporting of unusual activity or behaviour within the aviation community believed or suspected to be linked to acts of terrorism or organised crime.
Whilst it is almost impossible to say with any certainty what a criminal or a terrorist might look like, an individual's activity or behaviour can become suspicious in the context of the location they are in likewise, the unexpected or unusual presence of an aircraft or associated cargo might just cause reason for concern by those who live, work and relax in that particular environment

Project Pegasus provides a mechanism for the collation and assessment of all intelligence relating to such suspicious activity or behaviour in circumstances that could be linked to organised crime, terrorist activity or other threats to our borders. It allows for the appropriate assessment and deployment of resources from border policing partners in response to a potential or defined threat.
