Unauthorised drone flights in the airspace of Singapore’s Changi Airport are continuing to cause issues for the world transit hub, with drone sightings in the last week suspending a runway and delaying dozens of flights.
Singapore’s Civil Aviation Authority has been battling security concerns associated with increased popularity of drones, stating offenders are at risk of up to a $14,780 AUD fine or 12 months’ imprisonment.
The aviation authority's investigations surrounding the incidents are ongoing, but they warn the public they “take a serious view of errant operations of unmanned aircraft which may pose threats to aviation or endanger the personal safety of others.”
