A new set of rules in Dubai related to the aviation sector and general air space was brought into effect after the approval by Sheikh Hamdan. According to the new rules, a fine between Dhs 2,000 and Dhs 20,000 will be levied for using non-registered drones for commercial activities. Using drones during events without a no-objection letter from the authority can bring a fine of Dhs 10,000.
As per the resolution, anyone who seeks to carry out an activity in the aviation sector in Dubai is required to get a license from the DCAA. Licenses issued are valid for a renewable period of one year. The application for renewal should be submitted at least 30 days before the expiry of the license.
A fine of Dhs 5,000 is imposed on those who carry out activities in the aviation sector without receiving a license or a no-objection letter from the authority. Activities covered also include fireworks and laser displays, aerial photography and advertising, balloon launches and air lights. There will be a fine of Dhs 30,000 for organising air shows without a no-objection letter, while organising an event that could affect air navigation will bring a fine of Dhs 10,000. A fine of Dhs 30,000 will be imposed for an activity that can seriously endanger air navigation.
