Maiden drone flights at Atlanta airport could open door to more commercial use
USA TODAY | 02/14/2017
Drones flying around airports are generally considered a big, dangerous, illegal no-no. But one day last month in Atlanta, drones made seven flights at the world's busiest airport with the blessing of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Those flights at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport — the first civilian drone flights given FAA approval in a Class B airspace, a designation given the busiest area around crowded airports — marked a milestone for the development of commercial drones. Experts say the approval indicates that as the drone market matures, the FAA is more willing to consider broader applications for the new technology.
