The TV channel added that Canada had quite strict legal restrictions regarding drones' flights near airports, with no-fly zone totalling 5.6 kilometres (3.4 miles). In the United Kingdom, for example, drones are allowed to come within one kilometre to airports.
In 2017, the Canadian government imposed measures restricting the use of recreational drones near airports and among other aircraft and watercraft launching and landing sites, imposing a $3,000 fine for individuals breaking the new rules.
