The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will be establishing a Temporary Restricted Area over parts of central Singapore on the following days to facilitate demonstration flights in conjunction with the Intelligent Transport Systems World Congress (ITSWC) 2019:
| Date | Time |

The temporary Restricted Area (as shown in Annex A) will extend from ground level to 4,000 feet above mean sea level. The establishment of the temporary Restricted Area is to ensure the safety of the public, and the aircraft involved in the demonstration flights. During the stated dates and times, aerial activities such as flying of drones and other unmanned aircraft, release of flight lanterns, kite-flying and hoisting of captive balloons are prohibited within the temporary Restricted Area unless authorised by CAAS.
The unauthorised conduct of aerial activities within a temporary Restricted Area is an offence under the Air Navigation Order. Members of the public are reminded that the authorities take a serious view of errant aerial activities which may pose threats to the aircraft involved in the demonstration flights or endanger the personal safety of others, and will not hesitate to take action against those who contravene the regulations. If convicted, a person can be fined up to S$20,000 in the first instance and fined up to S$40,000 and/or imprisoned for up to 15 months in subsequent instances.
