As many as 85 schools for
piloting drones have opened over the past year and earned
recognition from Italy's ENAC national civil aviation agency,
officials said Wednesday.
Hundreds of people, mostly young people, already have
attended schools teaching the theory and practice of using
unmanned aircraft, they said.
Drones can be used in a range of sectors including
television, cinema, agriculture, environmental monitoring and of
course security.
"Thousands of jobs will be created by new professions with
drones, starting with those who pilot them," said Luciano
Castro, president of the Rome Drone Expo&Show.
An aeronautic salon on drones is due to be held at Rome's
Urbe airport May 29-31, said Castro.
