The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has received the greenlight to implement the Civil Aviation (Regulatory Fees and Charges for Unmanned Aircraft Systems) Regulations, 2020 which will require Drone operators to pay Ksh. 3,000 for a licence.
The law that sparked debate among film makers was acceded to by the National Assembly on 6 March 2021 amid efforts to have certain clauses revoked.
The approval paves the way for full implementation of the Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) regulatory framework in Kenya.
The Remote Aircraft Operators Certificate will also be procured at least ninety (90) days before the date of the intended operation.
