TAP CEO slams drone and insists on actions

TAP CEO SLAMS DRONE AND INSISTS ON ACTIONS

The CEO of TAP, Fernando Pinto, has said concerns about irresponsible use of drones after few drones misses at Lisbon Airport in one month. He has appealed for a full prohibition on drones and demanded Portuguese legislation clamps down and penalises anyone who disrespects the law.

There have been a few unpleasant situations at all Portuguese airports where some people used drones and caused problems for pilots. Fortunately none aircraft has been damaged and none passengers either. According to a law drones ar not alowed to fly at an altitude of above 120 m and cannot be used in the vicinity of airports.
