Aerial Drone Services

Here is how this works in practice. We give licensed aerial drone services with operators skilled in the practical realities of flying across Morocco. The country's locations reward aerial coverage — the dunes of Merzouga. The Erg Chebbi, the gorges of the Dades and Todgha, the High Atlas, and the UNESCO-listed ksar of Aït Benhaddou — and our crews pair certified pilots with dedicated camera ops for cinema-grade results, from integrated systems to heavy-lift sites carrying full cinema cameras. We plan flight paths, altitudes and shot sequences during prep, and build the permitting process into the schedule so aerial days are not lost to last-minute clearances.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Drone operations in Morocco are tightly covered and must be planned to match. Flights need advance sign-off from the CCM (Centre Cinématographique Marocain), the civil aviation authority — the DGAC, Direction Générale de l'Aviation Civile — and, for many areas including border zones and airspace near military installations and royal palaces, separate military clearance. Drones imported without pre-clearance can be held at customs, so our team sets up carnet records and gear lists ahead of arrival.

Here is how the picture comes together. On the ground, Desert flying also brings heat above 40°C that affects battery life, dust that threatens motors and gimbals, and wind that can ground a flight. Foreign shoots operate through a CCM-licensed local production-services partner, with a 30% cash rebates ready on qualifying Moroccan spend. Our team manages the full sign-off chain for legal, trusted aerial filming.
