NEW DRONE LAWS FROM JANUARY 2026

From 1 January 2026, new UK drone laws will significantly tighten control of the airspace, lowering the registration threshold to 100g. This means far more hobby flyers will be regulated, restricted, or put off altogether — while professionally trained, insured, and compliant operators will be in higher demand than ever. This shift strongly favours established drone businesses like SkyCam, creating a clear divide between casual flyers and trusted commercial operators. Getting in before the rules change puts you on the right side of that divide.
