Dubai Announces New Drone Airport Laws
Dubai is introducing new laws to govern the design, building and use of drone airports in the emirate.
The laws will dictate standards for the use of drones in Dubai, as well as the entities responsible for overseeing how drones are used in the city.
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE, issued Law No. (10) of 2023 amending certain articles of Law No. (4) of 2020 that regulate the use of drones in Dubai, with the aim of enhancing safety standards.
The new law amends article Nos. (7), (20), (21), and (23) of Law No. (4) of 2020 and replaces them with new articles that outline approved criteria for the design and operation of “Drone Airports” in Dubai.
Additionally, the new law also mandates the development of necessary infrastructure and provision of fuel and power supply for these airports.
