📷 AERIAL PHOTOGRAPHY · BASTIA (2B) · €300–900 PER HALF-DAY
Drone aerial photography in Bastia
In Bastia, aerial photography comes into its own facing the Mediterranean: shoreline, seafronts, harbours and hinterland read in a single frame from 120 m up. Low morning light on the water produces images no ground camera can match. The quote reflects the realities on the ground in Bastia: site access, the department's airspace context (2B) and the expected deliverable — reply within one working day.
Bastia's economy rests on the port (France's leading international passenger port, serving Italy and the mainland), commerce, the Haute-Corse administration and food production (clementines, nearby Patrimonio wines). Typical drone missions: tourism imagery of Cap Corse and hilltop villages, real estate, port and urban construction monitoring, events. Corsica's leading port and the island's gateway, Bastia squeezes its amphitheatre-shaped old harbour between the Saint-Jean-Baptiste church and the Genoese citadel of Terra Nova; Saint-Nicolas square, the rooftops of Terra Vecchia and the Cap Corse road make up the rest of the scenery.

Airspace and formalities in Bastia
Shoots in Bastia are planned around the neighbouring controlled airspace (CTR de l'aéroport de Bastia-Poretta (LFKB) au sud): capped heights in places and prior coordination with air traffic control, which our pilot handles before any shutter release.
Professional aerial photography is mostly flown in the open category (A1 to A3, 120 m maximum) with an operator registered on AlphaTango; in town or near the public it moves to the specific category with prior declaration. Full regulations and rates: aerial photography across France →
