Flying a drone near the airfield

The airfield lies within a UAS Geographical Zone published by ENAIRE because of microlight activity: drone flights are not allowed in this zone without coordination with the airfield. If you want to fly a drone between Pals, Torroella de Montgrí and the Medes Islands — for a shoot, a photo session or technical work — send us your request: we review it, coordinate it with airfield activity and tell you what else you need.

Ask well in advance. If the flight is in an urban environment (villages, residential areas or beaches), it must also be notified to the Spanish Ministry of the Interior at least 5 calendar days ahead. The Montgrí, Medes Islands and Baix Ter natural area also has wildlife protection rules. The drone operator remains responsible for complying with UAS regulations (registration, pilot training and insurance).
