Dr Lam said the ministry will continue to create a supportive environment and explore deeper collaborations with the industry in the area of drones.
While the ministry facilitates more beneficial uses of drones, Dr Lam said it is “mindful” of the potential safety and security threats arising from its errant and irresponsible use as seen in the recent incidents at UK’s Gatwick and US’ Newark airports.Meanwhile, flights into the– the 11th busiest US airport – were briefly suspended after two drones were seen flying over the nearby Teterboro Airport.
Dr Lam said he had informed the House in January that Singapore has measures in place to deal with such threats, and the Transport Ministry works closely with its Defence and Home Affairs counterparts on such efforts. That said, to ensure drones are operated safely, the CAAS is looking at strengthening the unmanned aircraft regulatory framework, which may include the mandatory registration of drones, he said.and areas being looked at include operating guidelines, pilot competency and requirements for aircraft weighing more than 25kg.
