Luxembourg Extends Temporary Ban on Drone Operations for Griffin Project
Luxembourg, February 12, 2025 – The Luxembourg Air Navigation Administration (ANA) has announced the extension of the temporary ban on drone operations in a specified airspace for the Griffin project. The ban, initially implemented on January 12, 2025, has been extended until March 31, 2025.
Affected Airspace
The affected airspace is located within a 10-kilometer radius around the city of Luxembourg. Specifically, the area includes the Luxembourg-Findel Airport and surrounding residential neighborhoods.
Reason for Ban
The ban was imposed due to the ongoing Griffin project, which involves the construction of a new telecommunications tower in the affected airspace. The drone operations pose a potential hazard to the construction work and may interfere with the operation of aircraft at Luxembourg-Findel Airport.
Exceptions to the Ban
Exceptions to the temporary ban may be granted for specific operations that are deemed necessary and have been authorized by the ANA in advance. Such exceptions may be granted for:
- Emergency services (e.g., police, fire, medical)
- Aerial photography or surveying
- Inspections of critical infrastructure
Safety Precautions
The ANA emphasizes the importance of airspace safety and urges drone operators to adhere to the ban. Unauthorized drone operations in the affected airspace could result in fines and legal consequences. Drone operators are advised to check the ANA website for the latest updates on the ban and applicable exemptions.
Timeline
The ban is currently in effect until March 31, 2025. The ANA will continue to monitor the situation and may further extend or lift the ban as necessary.
