Anyone intending on operating a drone within the restricted flying areas of Cardiff Airport & St Athan airfield will need to submit a Non-Standard Flight (NSF) request to National Air Traffic Services (NATS). Please note it can take up to 14 days for requests to be administered. Once approved, you will receive written confirmation of the approval which includes actions to take pre-flight.

Any flights outside the restricted flying areas must follow the Drone and Model Aircraft Code.

Drone operators (both commercial and non-commercial) require the permission of the landowner in advance of operating their drone. We may request evidence of this permission before issuing a licence to film.
