Flying a drone in Luxembourg — the complete guide
Do you need a drone licence in Luxembourg?
Yes. Luxembourg applies the European EASA framework and the national procedures of the Direction de l'aviation civile. The operator must register through MyGuichet.lu when using a drone over 250 g, or a drone under 250 g with a camera or personal-data sensor unless it is a toy. The operator number must be visibly attached to the drone. A1/A3 is the basic proof for open-category flying, while A2 is needed for some flights closer to people. Since Luxembourg's updated national framework entered into force around late 2025, non-compliance with geo-zones, training and authorisation rules may also lead to criminal consequences.
Airport zones and no-fly areas
Luxembourg City contains the country's most sensitive UAS zones.
- ELLX Luxembourg-Findel: official UAS zones around the airport, with authorisation or notification depending on the sector.
- Grand Ducal Palace and Ville-Haute: prior authorisation is typically required in the published zones.
- Kirchberg: European institutions, the Court of Justice, banks, ministries and sensitive infrastructure.
- CHL, helipads and emergency flights: notification or restriction may apply depending on the Geoportail layer.
- Stade de Luxembourg and major events: stadiums and gatherings may be prohibited or temporarily restricted.
Where can you fly legally in Luxembourg?
Controlled Pétrusse Valley edge operation only after full authorisation is listed as a cautionary option, not a casual spot: the valley is central, steep, busy and heritage-sensitive. Open plateau near Kockelscheuer after Geoportail check is more suitable for training, subject to roads, sports grounds and property rights. Bertrange countryside outside built-up areas can work for A3-style flights with landowner permission. Open paths toward Mamer and Kopstal outside sensitive zones require respect for forests, walkers, horses, roads and Natura areas. The g-o.lu/uas map is the deciding source before starting the motors.
Flying in Luxembourg city centre
Ville-Haute, Grund, Clausen, Pfaffenthal, the railway station area, the Corniche, Kirchberg, bridges, the Pétrusse Valley and urban parks are not suitable for spontaneous recreational flights. The reasons add up: proximity to Findel, official buildings, embassies, tourist crowds, traffic, valley terrain and privacy rights. A professional operator must check UAS zones, download the access conditions, submit a DAC notification or authorisation if required, obtain site permission and secure the ground. In the open category, overflying people gathered in a square, market or outdoor terrace remains prohibited.
Seasonal and event restrictions
National Day on 23 June, Schueberfouer, the ING Night Marathon, Christmas markets, official processions, state visits, events at the Stade de Luxembourg, Luxembourg Pride when it is hosted in the capital, and the Tour de Luxembourg if a stage passes nearby can trigger temporary zones published by the DAC and shown on g-o.lu/uas. The 2025 Tour de Luxembourg, for example, led to drone prohibitions on several stages, and official visits are often covered by EL-UAS-TEVT zones. Authorisation requests for some zones must be filed with notice, often 10 working days where the DAC specifies it.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get a drone licence?
Most students complete the A1/A3 online theory exam in 1-2 days of study. The A2 CoC requires a self-declaration and additional study, typically 1-2 weeks.
Is the drone licence valid across the UK?
Yes — all drone licences issued in the United Kingdom are recognised across the UK.
Can I fly a drone in front of the Grand Ducal Palace?
Not as a spontaneous flight. The Grand Ducal Palace is cited by the DAC as an example of a zone requiring prior authorisation. You need to check g-o.lu/uas, follow the zone conditions and account for crowds and official buildings.
Does Findel Airport use one fixed drone radius?
The practical rule in Luxembourg is to follow the official UAS zones on Geoportail, not only a manually measured distance. Around Findel, some zones require authorisation and others notification, and conditions can vary. Check the map before every flight.
