TAP president calls for drone ban unless owners follow the law

Published on 26/06/2017

The president of TAP, Fernando Pinto, will ask for all drones to be grounded if people don’t stop operating them in the flight path of incoming aircraft.

Pinto’s comments come after several drone near misses reported by commercial aircraft pilots, the latest being a TAP Express plane with 74 passengers on board narrowly missing a drone as it approached Lisbon airport on Sunday evening.
