Kuwait: Suspending drone licenses for individuals and private entities
The General Administration of Civil Aviation in Kuwait has stopped issuing permits for the use of unmanned aircraft, due to the danger they pose to the air movement of aircraft.
A Kuwaiti official source revealed to Al-Qabas newspaper that instructions were issued to all sectors operating at the airport to take precautionary measures on air safety by taking precautions for the use of drones.
The source said that the instructions stipulated that the issuance of permits should be restricted to government agencies only until further notice, adding that new procedures are currently being arranged to prevent chaos in the use of drones, whose effects have become threatening air traffic.
The source explained that arrangements are being made to put in place a mechanism consistent with the rules and regulations of Kuwaiti aviation safety, explaining that whoever operates any flight operations without obtaining the necessary licenses and approvals will expose himself to legal accountability.
