 Tävlingsledningens (Bernd Loidl, CEO Red Bull Air Race) kommentar till polisens preliminära yttrande:
"Measured according to the number of spectators, the Air Races are the largest sporting events held in the world. Several of the Races have attracted over one million spectators and the race in Detroit two weeks ago was watched by 700,000 fans.
For events on this scale applying for and receiving the necessary permission is not something that happens immediately, but is a process that is carried out parallel to the other preparations. This has been the case for every one of the 33 Red Bull Air Races held up until now.
In the case of Stockholm, all of the applications for permission made so far have been approved, be it from the civil aviation authorities, the fire department or the port authorities.
We are confident that the final remaining applications for permission will also be approved."
Vi håller också tummarna.
