GACA-licensed, permits handled.
Saudi airspace is regulated by GACA — and every commercial drone flight needs the right license, the right permits, and the right pilot. We handle all of it. You don't see the paperwork.
GACA-licensed pilots
Every Darb drone pilot is fully GACA-licensed for commercial operations under ROAS regulations. Licenses kept current; copies on file for audit.
Flight permits per site
We file flight permits with GACA + the relevant authority for every shoot. Restricted areas (airport zones, government sites, military adjacency) handled in advance — typical lead time 5–10 working days.
Insurance + liability
Full commercial drone insurance on every flight. Public liability coverage. Indemnity clauses suitable for enterprise SOWs.
NDA-first workflow
All footage stored on encrypted local drives. No third-party cloud upload without your sign-off. Suitable for mega-projects, defense-adjacent, royal estate work.
Who we fly for.
Saudi developers, mega-project programmes, energy operators, government bodies, and regional brands trusting Darb's drone team.
Five steps, permits-first.
Most drone failures aren't gear failures — they're permit failures. We start there, every time.
Brief + airspace check
30-minute call to lock the location, deliverables, and dates. We run a GACA airspace check before quoting — some locations need 10+ days lead time.
Permits + flight plan
We file the GACA permit + any site-specific authorisations. Flight plan + risk assessment prepared. You see neither — we keep it boring.
Site recce
On-site recce 24–48 hours before the shoot. Wind patterns, sun angles, obstacle clearance, takeoff/landing zones locked.
Flight day
Pilot + spotter + producer on-site. Backup drone always in the case. Live monitoring of footage as we fly. On-set review before wrap.
Edit + delivery
Colour-graded master + every aspect ratio + raw footage archive. Same-day teaser optional. Permits + flight log attached for your records.
