According to the law, drones are not allowed within 5.6 km of airports and aerodromes unless they've been given special permission by flight controllers at those facilities.
New drone regulations, including this law, came into effect on June 1.
Drone operators have no conscience! Putting airline staff and travelers in great danger of deadly accidents! PLease stay away from the airport areas!!!
