Abstract
As traffic volume has been increasing in Germany due to passenger and freight transport growth, time critical delivery services are facing new challenges. A possible solution arises from the technical progress in air transport research within the last years enabling the use of automated, light aircraft, which can operate in a more flexible manner and do not produce air pollutants. In order to establish an innovative airfreight chain, airfields have to meet the applying infrastructural requirements. The aim of this work is therefore to identify an according legal framework. We examined existing, progressing and missing regulations in order to assess the technical feasibility and point out further demand for legal assurance. The investigation shows that most applying regulations are technically feasible for the proposed airfreight transport, but a regulatory framework is not yet clarified for drone aerodrome design as well as unmanned aircraft systems operations at aerodromes.
