The Ministry of Transport of Bulgaria announced that preparations are being made for the introduction of the U-space drone traffic control system.

Specifically, a working group has been set up for the development of this system, comprising representatives of the Ministry and the Civil Aviation Administration.

U-space is a European system for safely managing the traffic of unmanned aircraft, which is already in the works. It is being developed throughout the European Union due to the increased need for services and technologies for the management of rotorcraft.

The traffic control system will be integrated into the existing air traffic control system.

A decree on the safe operation of drones in Bulgaria and the supervision of their operators has already been prepared and is to be signed by the Minister of Transport.

Inaugurating an international drone exhibition in October, Deputy Transport Minister, Nikolai Naidenov, said authorities would ensure equal market access for economic operators providing U-space air navigation services.
