NAIROBI, (CAJ News) – KENYA has made a milestone certification paving way for commercial drone operations in East Africa’s biggest economy. Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has granted Drone Space, locally the most experienced unmanned Aircraft Academy, with the Remote Operator’s Certificate (ROC). “This landmark certification is a critical step in the use of drones to provide solutions to everyday challenges,” said Drone Space Chief Executive Officer, Tony Mwangi. He said over the last five years, there had been significant demand for potential drone pilots and legal operations. “Flying a drone is legal in Kenya, however, commercial drone operations require a pilot to obtain a Remote Operators Certificate from the Authority (KCAA),” Tony noted.
