ENAIRE manages more than 2,200 drone operations in Spain over the summer

Drone operations in Spain remained at a high level throughout summer 2026. Between June and August, ENAIRE coordinated a total of 2,218 drone operations, reflecting the consolidation of the professional use of drones for an increasingly diverse and specialised range of activities. Catalonia once again recorded the highest number of operations of any Autonomous Region, with 516 over the summer as a whole. Madrid ranked second with 451, followed by the Basque Country with 255. Together, the three regions accounted for almost 55% of all activity recorded over the period.
