• Mandatory airline transmission of Advance Passenger Information (API) to Poland’s Passenger Information Unit at least 30 minutes before wheels-up for intra-EU flights;

• A legal basis for Remote-ID requirements on drones over 250 g operating within controlled airspace;
• Alignment with the EU Unmanned Aircraft Regulation (2023/2179).

Airlines flying to Warsaw Chopin, Kraków and Gdańsk airports will need to update DCS-to-Border Guard interfaces, while corporate fleet managers using drones for surveying or media work must register devices and pilots in Poland’s e-Sky portal.
