Regulations on the flying of drones or remotely piloted aircraft in the UK are constantly evolving.
Before flying a drone, it is your responsibility to be aware of the current rules.
Blackpool Airport is protected by a Flight Restriction Zone (FRZ) which means it is illegal to fly a drone or remotely piloted aircraft at any time within the FRZ, unless specific permission is granted by the airport operator.
For the most up-to-date information please check the UK CAA website or contact the airport.
