Drones clamp down for Canal expansion fete

THE USE OF drones will be restricted in the provinces of Panama, Panama West and Colón on June 25, 26 and 27 on orders of the Civil Aviation Authority.

The prohibition is due to the ceremonies being held for the opening of the Panama Canal expansion.

A number of prominent world leaders are expected to attend the events.

The restriction is based on a law that empowers the authority to regulate the operation of drones reports La Prensa.
