Flying drones in the Caribbean sounds like it would be of interest to many with idyllic weather, and stunning geography. However, Barbados drone regulations prohibit the import of drones and even spare parts. Existing licensed pilots can renew licenses, but the ban is impacting their ability to maintain equipment in a safe manner. BUVA (Barbados UAV Association) is advocating for reform, to allow the UAV market to grow, and more importantly ensure safety standards for existing aircraft.
