The two authorities will work together to achieve these objectives.
Additionally, there will be a focus on training media professionals in safe drone operations with the aim of achieving excellence in media photography while safeguarding Dubai's airspace.
The collaboration includes training programmes accredited by the DCAA for drone operators in the media sector. The training will cover technical and safety aspects, ensuring that drone operations do not interfere with the emirate's airspace. Upon completion of the training, selected trainees nominated by the Dubai Media Council will be granted a professional licence in accordance with the authority's standards and regulations.
Both the authorities will also work together to identify suitable locations for aerial filming with drones and specify permissible altitudes for each area to maintain air traffic safety in Dubai.
The signing of the memorandum comes during a time when there is a need to establish a secure environment for media professionals to use advanced technologies, such as drone photography, to drive creativity and innovation in content production.
