What you need to know

Drone filming
in Madrid.

Madrid is home to many of Spain's production companies and shoots, and also to some of its most complex airspace: two civil airports and several military bases around the capital. Filming with a drone here is, above all, a matter of lead times and getting the paperwork right.

Travel

We travel from our bases in Murcia or Catalonia, about four hours by road. On multi-day shoots the travel cost is diluted; for single days we add travel and per diems.

flight

Airspace

Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas and Cuatro Vientos, plus the Torrejón and Getafe air bases. Much of the city is controlled airspace: ENAIRE coordination is required and, downtown, a NOTAM.

park

Protected areas

Sierra de Guadarrama National Park and the South-East Regional Park, among other protected areas: there, environmental authorisation is needed on top of the aviation one.

landscape

Locations

Gran Vía, the Castellana and Cuatro Torres for the city; El Escorial, La Pedriza and the mountain reservoirs for landscape; Aranjuez, Chinchón and Alcalá de Henares for heritage.

Permits

AESA-registered operator, municipal authorisation to fly over the city and a NOTAM with ENAIRE downtown. Usual lead time for an urban permit: three to four weeks.

How we work

From the script
to the clapperboard.

We join your production in Madrid as its aerial unit, with pilot, camera operator and DIT, and the permits sorted before the first shoot day.

01

Reading the shot list

We mark the aerial shots, suggest the platform for each one (Inspire 3, FPV or Mavic 3 Cine) and estimate the shoot days.

02

Recce and permits

Location, light by the hour and flight paths. We handle AESA, ENAIRE coordination where airspace is controlled, and municipal or environmental authorisations.

03

Shoot day

Pilot, camera operator and DIT on set, with radios to the director and the aerial feed on the director's monitor.

04

Footage delivery

8K ProRes RAW from the Inspire 3 or 6K R3D from the FPV, with LUTs and copies verified before leaving set.

FAQ

Questions about
shooting in Madrid.

Can you fly a drone in central Madrid?add

Yes, with municipal authorisation, AESA and a NOTAM with ENAIRE. Without those three, no drone should be flying over the centre; we handle them as part of the service.

How much does a drone operator cost for a shoot in Madrid?add

An aerial unit day plus travel, per diems and permits. On multi-day shoots the travel weighs less. We send the 2026 rate card with the quote, on request.

Do you also shoot outside the city?add

Yes: Sierra de Guadarrama, El Escorial, Aranjuez, Alcalá or Chinchón. Away from Barajas and Cuatro Vientos the process is simpler, except in protected areas.

How far ahead do permits need to be requested in Madrid?add

For the centre, three to four weeks under normal conditions. The sooner we know the locations, the more room there is to adjust the flight plan.
