London 's The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration is testing a 'drone hunter' with thermal and infrared imaging to detect drones that stray into Dubai airport's airspace. The airport has been forced to shut 583 times November 4, 2016 due to unauthorised drone activity, causing flights to be diverted and costing the airport about $1 million for each minute of shutdown. As more and more drones take to the skies, they are causing ever greater concern for airline safety. Salim Al Mansouri , senior aerodrome inspector at the civil aviation authority, said that people were wanting to explore how far their drone could go without realising they are violating airspace.
