The Russian Association of Air Traffic Controllers has proposed introducing a fee for the launch of civilian drones. The newspaper writes that “News”.
Currently, the flight of drones requires the temporary closure of part of the airspace, which creates problems for manned aircraft. The purpose of introducing air navigation charges is to discipline customers on such flights and structure their interaction with conventional aircraft.
The Cabinet noted that on the contrary, in general, they are trying to reduce administrative barriers to the development of the sector.
Although specific rates are not specified in the proposal of the union, it is suggested to calculate these rates depending on the volume of the closed airspace and the time of its closure. Experts speaking to the broadcast say that introducing such a fee will help establish discipline and remove administrative barriers to the development of the industry.
The Federal Air Transport Agency said that the issue of charging for flights by industrial drones is discussed periodically. But most experts agree that in its infancy this could only harm the unmanned industry.
before in Russia created new drone suppression system.
