The European Commission and - more recently EASA – are considering the gradual integration of unmanned aircraft (drones) in non-segregated airspace of any class at least since 2012 (Staff working document, SWD(2012 259 final). The EU sees drones as “a leverage for jobs and new business opportunities” (Warsaw Declaration, November 2016). It has continued to develop its drones strategy (e.g. Amsterdam Declaration, November 2018) over the years and Europe Air Sports has followed developments in this area very closely.
