State Secretary Sharon Dijksma (Infrastructure and Environment) notes the recent drone messages around Schiphol airport. Pilots saw drones in the air while it is forbidden around airports to fly a drone.,, This campaign is aimed at a wide audience, so that each drone pilot knows how high and where there may be flown a drone. Because the flight of manned aviation is paramount. ''

Expected that the rules will be tightened later this year, so that users of recreational drones soon may fly up to 50 meters high and 100 meters. Dijksma also looks at whether the penalties for a violation are high enough.
