EU aviation groups want all drones to be registered

The ability to trace nuisance drones back to their owner or pilot would improve compliance with regulations, the groups said inĀ a joint statement.

Near-misses involving drones and aircraft are on the rise - 10 UK cases risked collision this year, according to the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).

US users must already register drones weighing more than half a pound (228g).
