MONTREAL: UN aviation officials cautioned anyone who might want to leave a gift of a drone under the Christmas tree this season, to learn how to safely operate it first.
"Drones can pose a serious threat to manned flights and people and property on the ground," the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) said in a statement.
