<p>The Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) work with a
wide range of partners, including the British Airline Pilots' Association and the
Police, to ensure our understanding of potential hazards to aircraft remains up to
date. Work is underway to better understand the risk posed by drones to commercial
aircraft and ensure that the regulatory and industry responses remain fit for purpose.
The Government has conducted a consultation to determine if further measures are needed
in this area and will be responding to this soon with its intended future actions.</p><p>
</p><p>We have also been working closely with the CAA and industry to adapt and strengthen
existing measures and mitigations as drone use and the related technology evolves.
This has led to a safety awareness and education campaign aimed at leisure drone users,
the launch of a new www.dronesafe.uk website, and a free new app ‘Drone Assist’ by
NATS, which shows users where they should and should not fly in their locality.</p>
