Drone shows in Antalya
A thousand drones above The Land of Legends
On 23 April 2026, National Sovereignty and Children’s Day, 1,000 of our drones flew above The Land of Legends theme park in Antalya. The celebration lifted into the sky above the venue, bright and vivid, almost blurring the line between ground and air. Everyone was looking up, children and adults alike.
Daily shows at the resorts
In Antalya we perform daily drone shows for guests at leading Turkish resorts, including Delphin Hotels, where the evening entertainment programme has become an essential part of the stay. A daily show has become a signature feature of these resorts: it adds a level of spectacle and works on the identity of the destination itself.
This is a format of its own. A one-off show is built around a date and an event; a daily one is built around a season. The same programme runs night after night, different guests watch it, and it has to work equally well every evening.
How a resort differs from a city site
A resort has its own grounds, its own services and its own routine. That simplifies part of the task: the site is known, the take-off point is fixed, the audience area is clear in advance.
But another requirement appears. A daily programme runs for the whole season, which means it has to be predictable in timing, in weather limits and in the load on the equipment. The show is planned not as an event but as a regular operation.
What Türkiye requires of an operator
The regulator is the Sivil Havacılık Genel Müdürlüğü (SHGM), the Directorate General of Civil Aviation of Türkiye, and the regulatory basis is the SHT-İHA directive on the operation of unmanned aircraft.
A commercial operation with unmanned aircraft may be carried out only by an operator registered in the SHGM system. The pilots have to hold a valid registration in the İHA Kayıt Sistemi, which requires either a Turkish identification number or a foreign national’s number issued to foreign nationals with official residence status.
A foreign operator cannot file directly: the work goes through a licensed Turkish partner. We have a representative office in Türkiye, file the applications ourselves and carry the approval through to the end.
Parameters
Our fleet covers shows of up to 9,000 drones, and a programme can run up to 25 minutes. The drones operate in winds up to 12 m/s, in light rain and in temperatures from –10 °C to +50 °C. The final decision to launch is taken on the day of the show, after the weather on site has been assessed.
The number of drones sets what the animation can do. Portrait compositions begin to look convincing from 1,000 drones, and text takes 15 to 20 drones per letter.
The launch and technical areas are fenced off, and around the drones set out on the ground we keep a buffer of some 50 metres. There are no people where the drones take off, transit, perform or land. Public liability is insured for two million US dollars, and the cover is worldwide.
Our shows in other Turkish cities
In Istanbul we set a record for Türkiye: 2,026 drones above the Bosphorus the night before the centennial Gazi Košusu at Çırağan Palace. A thousand drones worked at the Galatasaray title celebration at RAMS Park, and we flew for the 10th anniversary of 15 July above the strait, as well as for Mercedes-Benz and Big Dutchman. More on our page about outdoor drone shows in Istanbul.
In Konya we worked twice: at the Science Festival and at the Bicycle Festival. A thousand drones closed the programme at the Selimiye Mosque in Edirne, 750 flew above Elazığ, 1,000 over Kocaeli Stadium in İzmit, and drones lit the sky above Cappadocia for the first time.
How approvals work in the country is set out in permits in Türkiye. Our services: outdoor drone shows, indoor drone shows, radio-controlled airships and custom flying objects.
Where to start
Tell us where and when the event takes place and what it marks: an anniversary, an opening, a national date, a product launch. The occasion shapes the script and the size of the programme, while the site and the date shape how long the approvals take. That is enough for us to come back with a timeline and a price.
