Most local laser incidents were reported over the northwest part of the city, he added.
All types of aircraft — from “the flying club to airliners” — have been targeted.
Hunter said that pointing a laser into the cockpit of an aircraft in flight could bring the offender a fine of up to $100,000 under the federal government’s Aeronautics Act or up to five years in jail.
The airport authority and the Regina Police Service ask that any such laser incidents be reported immediately to the Regina Police
Service at 306-777-6500.

Said Hunter: “We don’t want anyone to go to jail or pay a fine — but just to stop.”
