The increased use of drones in local airspace will now see operators of the device having to seek permission from the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) beforehand.
This comes as the GCAA moves to regularize the use of such devices for the safety and security of the general public.
Also known as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV), drones are devices capable of being flown without a pilot on board. They can be flown autonomously by remote control or by the use of onboard computers.
