The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) has granted a license to "Tahleeq Drone Services" (LLC) for the registration and management of drone air traffic in the Sultanate of Oman. This initiative aims to enhance air navigation safety and regulate drone operations within Omani airspace. The announcement is part of the activities surrounding the Sultanate of Oman's hosting of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Security Week and the High-Level Ministerial Meeting from December 9th to 12th.

The drone air traffic registration and management service, provided through the Serb platform, includes a cutting-edge digital system. In its initial phase, the platform will focus on registering amateur drone operators. The platform offers a mechanism to record operator data, grant licenses upon successful completion of a simple knowledge test, and allow drone flights in designated safe areas in collaboration with military and security agencies.

This service addresses the significant increase in drone usage by expediting permit issuance and streamlining registration procedures. Additionally, the platform monitors and tracks drone operations, ensuring high security and protection against cyber threats. All data is stored on local servers, utilizing locally developed algorithms and software.

The decision to license Tahleeq Drone Services (LLC) for drone air traffic management is based on the Civil Aviation Law promulgated by Royal Decree No. 76/2019 and Resolution No. 1412/2023, which issues the bylaw regulating the Activity of Drones. Through this regulation, the CAA aims to enhance the safety and security of drone operations and provide a regulatory environment that keeps pace with technological advancements in the field.
