Recreational drones can't be operated inside the red circle

The Isle of Man Airport is reminding those with drones not to fly too close to Ronaldsway.

Recreational drone users aren't allowed to operate within three nautical miles of the Island's airport, meaning the devices can't be used around Castletown and Ballasalla.

Commercial operators need specific permission from Air Traffic Control to enter the restricted area, as well as additional permission from the Civil Aviation Authority.

A map showing the no-fly zone can be found on the Airport's social media pages.
