Urban Honolulu commercial drone operations follow FAA Part 107, ROH Chapter 40 Article 28 aerial advertising limits, and park and airspace restrictions near Waikiki and HNL.
Commercial drone operations in Urban Honolulu follow federal FAA Part 107 rules, layered with ROH Chapter 40, Article 28 (Aerial Advertising), which restricts the use of aircraft, banners, and aerial signage over the City and County of Honolulu. Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Downtown flights also face controlled airspace restrictions from the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport and temporary flight restrictions during major events. Park-based commercial flights are limited by ROH Sec. 10-1.2, and flights over private property implicate HRS Sec. 711-1114 on trespass by UAS. No separate ROH commercial drone chapter has been adopted.
Aerial advertising violations under Article 28 trigger city citations and fines, while FAA Part 107 violations can draw federal penalties on top of state trespass exposure.
