George notes on drone services

Because of the airport and the national park, ask the operator what approvals they need for your location.
What people fly for in George
George is the main town of the Garden Route, wedged between the forested Outeniqua Mountains and the sea.

The Garden Route National Park covers the Wilderness lakes and parts of the coast, and drones need permission there. George Airport sits south-west of town, so much of the area is controlled airspace. Coastal weather changes fast, with sea mist, drizzle and gusty wind off the mountains. Many operators also serve Mossel Bay and Knysna from here.
