Japan lifts upper limit on drones operated by one pilot

Japan has removed the upper limit on drones that one pilot can operate at once.

The change targets better logistics and infrastructure checks. It also supports faster damage assessment and search efforts in disasters.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is behind the update. Officials say it will improve operations across multiple sectors.

The policy took effect following the announcement on June 22.
