Establishment of Temporary Restricted Areas for NDP-Related Aerial Activities (2026)

            The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will be establishing Temporary Restricted Areas (TRAs) over parts of Singapore on selected days in June, July, and August 2026, under the Air Navigation (91 — General Operating Rules) Regulations 2018. These TRAs will be established to ensure the safety of the public and aircraft that will be flying at low level as part of the aerial activities for National Day Parade 2026 (NDP 2026) and its rehearsals.

2          The TRAs will encompass The Kallang (formerly known as Singapore Sports Hub) and its vicinity, as well as different parts of Singapore, and will extend from ground level to 3,000 feet above mean sea level.

3          The TRAs will be in effect on the dates and times stated below. In the event of poor weather conditions on any of the planned dates, the reserve date may also be utilised.

4          During the stated dates and times, the conduct of all aerial activities including kite-flying, hoisting of captive balloons, release of free flight aerial objects and flying of unmanned aircraft such as drones into and within the TRAs, is strictly prohibited, unless expressively permitted by CAAS through a permit.

5          The conduct of aerial and unmanned aircraft activities within the TRA without the required permits from CAAS is an offence under the Air Navigation (96 – Aerial Activities and Dangerous Lights) Regulations 2025 (ANR-96) and the Air Navigation (101 – Unmanned Aircraft Operations) Regulations 2019 (ANR-101) respectively. Any contravention of these regulations constitutes an offence under section 14(3) of the Air Navigation Act. Under section 14(4) of the Act, a person guilty of such an offence shall be liable on conviction to a fine of up to S$50,000 or imprisonment of up to two years, or both, for the first offence, and a fine of up to S$100,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both, for the second and subsequent offence.
