Drone filming at Luton Airport in Covid-19 Lockdown

Posted May 14, 2020 No Comments

With the reduced number of aircraft landing and taking off due to COVID-19 we had a rare opportunity to fly our drone with our PfCO (Permission for Commercial Operations) and do some filming in between aircraft movements around the stands and the runway.

We’ve filmed at Luton Airport a few times over the past 3 years and it was very eerie to see all the aircraft grounded. You can almost hear a pin drop.

A big thank you to AIRDAT and Luton Airport’s air traffic control and airside operations for making this possible! We made another video about the recent national lockdown.
