New geozoning ensures smarter organization of airspace around Dutch airports

From November 26, there will be more space to fly drones at a safe distance from airports. With the introduction of geozoning, different areas for flying drones are being designated within civil Control Zones (CTRs) around airports. This creates more opportunities for drone flights in locations where it is safe to do so.Currently, drone flights within a Control Zone (CTR), the controlled airspace surrounding an airport, are only permitted under specific conditions and with the approval of air traffic control. This changes with the new geozoning.
