In this week’s drone news, our first story is about a $150 million DJI fraud. According to industry speculations, this is just the tip of the iceberg, and this fraud could, in fact, be much larger. Has this led to a shortage of Phantom 4 drones in North America? And will this have a negative impact on DJI’s plans to come out with an IPO in 2019?

The next big story of this week is about the flight disruptions at Newark Airport due to “alleged” drone sightings. Apparently, flights were halted due to drone sightings 15 miles away at an altitude of 3500 feet! Could this be another Gatwick in the making? Other news includes firmware updates to Phantom 4 RTK, Mavic 2 Pro, Mavic 2 Zoom and a new DJI support program for enterprise customers. Tune in now!
