FAQ

Many venues have general bans on drones due to safety and disturbance concerns. However, we often work with venues to address these worries by clearly explaining our robust safety protocols and professional operations. This approach has enabled us to perform drone shows at locations that initially had restrictions, including sensitive heritage sites.

For instance, we successfully flew 100 drones at Scarborough Castle, an English Heritage property, by securing the necessary permissions and creating a spectacular display near a listed monument. Let’s explore what’s possible at your venue!
