# Drone no-fly zones in Austria

**canfly? does not carry Austria's zone data.** Austria's UAS geographical zones are published, but not licensed for reuse. This page states who publishes them, where to check them, and what applies under the EU drone rules regardless.

## Why it is not here
Austro Control publishes Austria's UAS geographical zones as a downloadable ED-269 file through Dronespace, but reserves all rights to it and grants no reuse permission, so we cannot republish it here. Dronespace itself is free to use and is the authoritative check.

## Key facts
- Status: published, but not licensed for reuse

## What still applies when flying in Austria
The EU-wide rules apply in Austria exactly as in the 16 states canfly? does cover - only the zone data is missing, not the law.

- Operator registration, done once in your country of residence, is valid EU/EEA-wide.
- The Open / Specific / Certified categories and the 120 m height limit apply unchanged.
- Class marking and remote-ID obligations follow the drone, not the country.
- Austria's national geographical zones are legally binding whether or not a third-party map shows them. Check them against Austro Control (Austria).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I fly a drone in Austria?
Yes, under the EU-wide rules in Regulation (EU) 2019/947 - the same operator registration, remote-ID and open/specific/certified categories that apply across the EU and EEA - but you must stay clear of Austria's UAS geographical zones. canfly? does not carry those zones, because Austria publishes its drone zones openly, but licenses them in a way that does not permit a third party to republish or reformat them. Check them against Austro Control (Austria) before you fly. The official source is https://www.dronespace.at/.

### Where do I check drone no-fly zones in Austria?
With Austro Control (Austria), which is the authority responsible for publishing Austria's UAS geographical zones under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15. The official source is https://www.dronespace.at/. It is free to use.

### Why doesn't canfly? show Austria's drone zones?
Austro Control publishes Austria's UAS geographical zones as a downloadable ED-269 file through Dronespace, but reserves all rights to it and grants no reuse permission, so we cannot republish it here. Dronespace itself is free to use and is the authoritative check.

### Does Austria publish machine-readable drone-zone data?
Yes - as of 2026-07-27, the data exists in machine-readable form, which is why Austria is listed as blocked rather than missing on canfly?'s coverage matrix. What is missing is permission to reuse it, not the data itself. See https://canfly.io/coverage.
