The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management is considering opening controlled airspaces around major Dutch airports (Schiphol, Eelde, Lelystad, Rotterdam, and Maastricht) to drone pilots in the Open category and providing more space for Specific-category operators. Currently, these areas are restricted, leading to many illegal drone flights that complicate enforcement without necessarily causing safety issues.

The drone service market was estimated to be around 30 billion US dollars, with an estimated annual growth rate of around 7 to 8 percent until 2030. In order to meet these astounding numbers the industry needs to scale up operations. That also means to scale up beyond visual line of site (BVLOS) operations, because  that’s where the business is.
