An unmanned aircraft ban within a 50-meter radius of the Macao East Asian Games in Cotai will be enforced from tomorrow through 15 December to ensure the smooth conduct of events for the “The 12th National Games for Persons with Disabilities and the 9th Special Olympics of the People’s Republic of China (Macau)”, according to Article 66 of the Air Navigation Regulation of Macau approved by Executive Order No. 43/2021, as announced by Macau’s Civil Aviation Authority.
In addition, due to the event’s operational scope, areas including Macau Taipa Ferry Terminal, Macao Bridge, Wynn Palace, Pousada Marina Infante, England Marina Club Hotel and Marina Phantom Apartment Hotel are explicitly designated as no-fly zones under Article 67 of the Air Navigation Regulation of Macau.
The Civil Aviation Authority reminds the public that no individual may operate unmanned aircraft in these areas without prior written authorisation from the Authority, with fines ranging from MOP 2,000 to 20,000 to be imposed on offenders. The no-fly notice has been published in the Official Gazette No. 49, Series II Supplement.
