PUTRAJAYA, Aug 24 — The Civil Aviation Regulations 2016 will be amended to improve the country’s drone industry by introducing an online drone flight permit application system, said Transport Minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong.
“The amendment and introduction of the online system will give exposure to the public regarding the importance of using drones in a controlled and safe manner,” he said. Voo said the UTM system, expected to be completed by October next year, will shorten the period for issuing drone flight permits from 14 days to a day.
He also said the system will also speed up the approvals of drone flight permit applications for use during emergency operations such as natural disasters.
