Jan-Christophe Oetjen, Vice President of the European Parliament, proposes a game-changing approach to airspace safety: mutual visibility.

It's not about visual sight - it's about data sharing that lets drone pilots know what else is in their airspace.

This reciprocal visibility could be the key to safer, more integrated airspace management as drone usage continues to explode.
