What are the rules for flying drones near Lelystad Airport?

Flying a drone is prohibited at or in the wide vicinity of airports in the Netherlands. This also applies at and around Lelystad Airport.

However, it is possible to fly drones in the vicinity of Lelystad Airport under certain circumstances. The central government can give permission for this. As an airport, we have no say in this.
