# Drone no-fly zones in Sweden

**canfly? does not carry Sweden's zone data.** Sweden'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
LFV publishes Sweden's zones openly, in the ED-318 format, with no login and no key - and keeps them current. The licence is CC BY-NC-ND. The non-commercial term is not the problem, since canfly? is free; the no-derivatives term is, because converting the file into the common EU format used here is arguably a derivative. We are seeking LFV's agreement on that narrow point. Meanwhile Drönarkartan is free and authoritative.

## Key facts

## What still applies when flying in Sweden
The EU-wide rules apply in Sweden 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.
- Sweden's national geographical zones are legally binding whether or not a third-party map shows them. Check them against Transportstyrelsen / LFV (Sweden).

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I fly a drone in Sweden?
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 Sweden's UAS geographical zones. canfly? does not carry those zones, because Sweden 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 Transportstyrelsen / LFV (Sweden) before you fly. The official source is https://dronechart.lfv.se/.

### Where do I check drone no-fly zones in Sweden?
With Transportstyrelsen / LFV (Sweden), which is the authority responsible for publishing Sweden's UAS geographical zones under Regulation (EU) 2019/947, Article 15. The official source is https://dronechart.lfv.se/. It is free to use.

### Why doesn't canfly? show Sweden's drone zones?
LFV publishes Sweden's zones openly, in the ED-318 format, with no login and no key - and keeps them current. The licence is CC BY-NC-ND. The non-commercial term is not the problem, since canfly? is free; the no-derivatives term is, because converting the file into the common EU format used here is arguably a derivative. We are seeking LFV's agreement on that narrow point. Meanwhile Drönarkartan is free and authoritative.

### Does Sweden publish machine-readable drone-zone data?
Yes - as of 2026-07-27, the data exists in machine-readable form, which is why Sweden 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.
