Unauthorised drone seized at Dhaka airport

Authorities at Hazrat Shahjalal
International Airport (HSIA) in Dhaka seized an unauthorised drone in the VIP
area last night (4 April), citing a major violation of aviation safety
regulations.
The DJI Mavic 4
Pro drone was intercepted around 8:37pm while it was being used to film the
arrival of Saff Championship players in front of the VIP Pole Gate, officials
said.
Preliminary
investigations revealed the drone was being operated without prior permission
from the Civil Aviation Authority of Bangladesh (CAAB).
Under the Drone Registration and Operation Policy 2020, airport areas are
strictly designated as "Red Zones," where drone flight is prohibited
without special authorisation from relevant authorities.
Airport officials
confirmed that necessary legal action will be taken to ensure the overall
security of the facility. They also urged the public to strictly comply with
existing regulations and avoid operating drones in sensitive areas.
