The Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia (CAAM) has sent out an official notice<\/a> to industry players that it will propose an increase in fees.<\/p>\n To become more independent and less reliant on the annual injection of RM320 – RM350 million from Putrajaya, CAAM will revise some of its existing charges and introduce new fees starting in 2025.<\/p>\n Based on the proposal, 7 categories of fees will be revised while 25 new fees related to Unmanned Aircraft\/Drone will be introduced.<\/p>\n The highest increase will come from the renewal of certificates for multi-runway aerodromes, which sees it rising from RM25,000 to RM300,000 in 2025<\/strong> for aerodromes with two runways, RM390,000 in 2028 and RM468,000 by 2031<\/strong>.<\/p>\n 2025 will see CAAM introduce the licensing fees to operate unmanned aircraft and drones used for surveillance, spraying, mapping, filming and recreational aircraft flying.<\/p>\n This means, that if you want to use your drone to shoot footage either for commercial or personal use, you might need to pay a licensing fee to do it.<\/p>\n
