Official policy from the Cameroon Civil Aviation Authority establishes Douala International Airport as a restricted zero-drone area.

Security personnel patrolling Douala International Airport maintain active electronic monitoring to intercept unauthorized control signals in the area.

Exemptions are restricted strictly to state-approved industrial and defense operations holding advance written permits.
