Civil Aviation Chief Highlights Need For Secure Airspace Solutions
The Director General of Israel’s Civil Aviation Authority, Zakay, highlighted the importance of airspace management for the growth of Israel’s civilian drone industry. He noted that the industry’s potential extends beyond air taxis and traffic congestion relief, with applications such as transporting blood supplies and ecological monitoring becoming key economic drivers. Israel’s unique security challenges and densely populated geography require coordinated and secure airspace management, with plans underway to establish an authority responsible for low-altitude airspace.
