The Tobago House of Assembly (THA) has implemented temporary airspace restrictions prohibiting private drone operations near Scarborough Esplanade during the December 6 Tobago Day Cultural Concert and Drone Show. The Office of the Chief Secretary issued an official notice stating the ban will be enforced during the scheduled 6:30 PM drone display performance.
According to the THA’s released statement, unauthorized drone activity in the vicinity could potentially interfere with the navigation systems and precisely coordinated movements of the official display drones. The coordinated aerial show involves sophisticated technology requiring clear, uncontested airspace to ensure both spectacular visual effects and public safety.
The assembly emphasized that these measures are necessary to create a secure environment for both attendees and performers while maintaining the technical integrity of the scheduled presentation. Officials expressed gratitude for public cooperation, noting that compliance with the temporary restriction would contribute to an enjoyable experience for all concert attendees while demonstrating community responsibility regarding emerging technology regulations.
