Preah Sihanouk Provincial Television, September 4. According to Cambodian media, the Takeo provincial government issued a notice on September 3 barring drones, balloons and other objects that could endanger flights near Phnom Penh’s Techo International Airport through September 7, to protect test flights and operational trials.
The five-day tests included navigation calibration, airspace monitoring and landing guidance exercises. Takeo Governor Vy Samnang directed the authorities in Bati, Samraong and Prey Kabbas districts to publicise the restrictions so residents were aware of them and complied.
The notice said individuals and organisations must not operate drones or model aircraft or release balloons without authorisation during the period. Authorities would step up patrols and deal with violations under the law.
