Groningen Airport Eelde wants to be a test hub for courier companies experimenting with drones. To this end, it has
a licence will be applied for in the near future.
In a programme broadcast by RTV Drenthe and RTV Meppel,
Arnold Rossing of Drone Hub, a knowledge and development centre set up
by the airport, that there is a great need for experimentation with
drones. As Eelde is regarded as a genuine test airport, Drone Hub wishes to
apply for a licence to fly drones here. Rossing is considering
delivery drones, as well as drones for inspecting forests or wind turbines.
The airport provides an ideal setting for investigating how drones can be integrated
with other air traffic. The airport
must obtain permission for this from the Ministry of Infrastructure and
the Environment.
