NEW laws are to pave the way for anti-drone missiles to be deployed at airports to prevent a repeat of the Christmas chaos at Gatwick.
Transport Secretary Chris Grayling last night revealed new measures to arm the police with counter-drone kit – and extend a no-fly exclusion zone for drones to three miles around every major airport in the UK.
Sources said the powers would enable civilian authorities to equip themselves with military-style counter measures as well as signal blockers and ‘hunter drones’.
Mr Grayling also revealed police will be able to slap on-the-spot fines of up to £100 on anyone who refuses to land a drone when asked or produce a registration certificate.
The Tory, shamed over the drone fiasco at Gatwick before Christmas, was due to outline his plans to MPs in the Commons last night.
Aviation Minister Liz Sugg said: “Drones have the potential to bring significant benefits and opportunities, but with the speed of technological advancement comes risk, and safety and security must be our top priorities.”

The Government was forced into rushing out its anti-drone measures after 140,000 people had their festive travel plans plunged into chaos by illegal drone activity at Gatwick.
At the height of the chaos, it emerged the Government had still not responded to consultation over a crackdown.
Pilots have reported several near misses with drones and the number reported to investigators has soared from six in 2014 to 93 in 2017.
Balpa, the pilots union, had called for the current 1km exclusion zone around airports – only brought in last July – to be extended to three miles.

To achieve her kick-ass figure, Hayden – who plays cheerleader Claire Bennet in Heroes – follows the ‘quartering’ rule. She eats only a quarter of the food on her plate, then waits 20 minutes before deciding whether she needs to eat again.
Hayden says: “I don’t have a model’s body, but I’m not one of those crazy girls who thinks that they’re fat. I’m OK with what I have.”
Nicollette says: “I don’t like diets – I see it, I eat it! I believe in eating healthily with lots of protein, vegetables and carbs to give you energy.”
