CAA warns against unauthorized drone use in Oman; urges strict compliance with airspace regulations

MUSCAT: The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has issued an official alert following multiple incidents of unauthorized drone operations across Oman.

In a statement shared online, the CAA revealed that it had recently detected several cases where unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) were flown without the required permits or in restricted areas.

“The Civil Aviation Authority would like to warn of the monitoring of a number of irregular uses of unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) during the recent period, which included operating them without obtaining the necessary permits or using them in prohibited or unauthorized areas,” the statement read.

The Authority emphasized that unauthorized drone usage—particularly outside designated zones—poses significant safety risks and constitutes a breach of Omani airspace laws.

The CAA urged all drone operators to strictly comply with national regulations, obtain appropriate licenses through official channels, and use only approved applications. The warning concluded with a reminder that failure to comply may result in legal consequences.
