European Union is framing the future of aviation by declaring main principles for developing drone service market.
The European aviation community gathered in Riga in March 2015 established the following basic principles:
- Drones need to be treated as new types of aircraft with proportionate rules based on the risk of each operation.
- EU rules for the safe provision of drone services need to be developed now.
- Technologies and standards need to be developed for the full integration of drones in the European airspace.
- Public acceptance is key to the growth of drone services.
- The operator of a drone is responsible for its use.
