Working with Drones in Manchester Airspace

Manchester, England’s second largest city, is a major commercial and industrial center. The metropolitan area extends into nine districts: Trafford to the southwest, Stockport to the southeast, Tameside to the east, Oldham and Rochdale to the northeast, Bury to the north, Bolton to the northwest, Manchester city center and Salford to the west. The estimated population of Manchester in 2022 was 2.9 million.

​

The skies over Manchester are some of the busiest in the United Kingdom. Manchester Airport is the third busiest airport in the country and handles over 22 million passengers each year. The airspace around the airport is tightly controlled and monitored by Air Traffic Control. This control is necessary to ensure the safety of all aircraft in the area. The airspace around Manchester is also used by a number of other airports, including Liverpool, Leeds Bradford, and East Midlands.

​

We as the drone operator are responsible for obtaining all permissions to fly within any restricted airspace in Manchester and its surrounding areas. Restricted airspace is marked on aviation charts.

​

Flight within these areas is restricted for all types of aircraft, whether manned or unmanned. To obtain permission the drone operator must apply for Enhanced Non-Standard Flight clearance via the NATS website or local ATC. 

​

We take care of all of this to ensure our operations are safe and legal as well as advising you of lead-in times as we complete the process.

Online satellite imagery can be out-dated by up to 6 years and can be unreliable in planning and analysis needs. Drone survey imagery is typically 20 times the resolution of Google Earth, allowing for greater planning detail and when augmented by our 3D mapping capability, provides ground representation to the smallest detail.
