Drone no-fly zones in Denmark
Denmark publishes one of the best drone-zone datasets in Europe - complete, refreshed daily, and free to download - but Trafikstyrelsen's terms state it is for personal use only. That permits you to download it; it does not permit us to republish it on a public map. Get it directly from the official page below.
Who publishes Denmark's drone zones?
Under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15, every EU and EEA state must define and publish its UAS geographical zones - the areas where drone flight is prohibited, restricted, or requires authorisation. The regulation says the zones must be published; it does not say in what format, or under what licence. That is why coverage across Europe is so uneven, and why Denmark is not on the canfly? map.

What still applies when you fly in Denmark
The EU-wide rules apply in Denmark exactly as they do in the 16 states canfly? does cover - only the zone data is missing here, not the law:
- Register as an operator once, in your country of residence. The registration is valid across the EU and EEA.
- Open, Specific or Certified. Most recreational and light commercial flying is in the Open category, with its A1/A2/A3 subcategories and a 120 m height limit.
- Class marking and remote ID obligations follow the drone, not the country.
- National geographical zones still bind you - they are law in Denmark whether or not any third-party map shows them. Check the official source above.
Frequently asked questions
Can I fly a drone in Denmark?
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 Denmark's UAS geographical zones. canfly? does not carry those zones, because Denmark 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 Trafikstyrelsen / Naviair (Denmark) before you fly. The official source is https://www.en.droneregler.dk/uas-geographical-zones/data-for-download.
Where do I check drone no-fly zones in Denmark?
With Trafikstyrelsen / Naviair (Denmark), which is the authority responsible for publishing Denmark's UAS geographical zones under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15. The official source is https://www.en.droneregler.dk/uas-geographical-zones/data-for-download. It is free to use.
Why doesn't canfly? show Denmark's drone zones?
Denmark publishes one of the best drone-zone datasets in Europe - complete, refreshed daily, and free to download - but Trafikstyrelsen's terms state it is for personal use only. That permits you to download it; it does not permit us to republish it on a public map. Get it directly from the official page below.
Does Denmark publish machine-readable drone-zone data?
Yes - as of 2026-07-27, the data exists in machine-readable form, which is why Denmark 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.
Countries canfly? covers
canfly? carries live zone data for 16 of 31 EU and EEA states, 210,910 zones in total. See the full coverage and data-status matrix - which records exactly this, for every member state - or jump to a country:
