FCC Grants VEX AIR Exemption for Classroom Drones; Approved Vendors Reach 11 as DJI Remains Blocked
The FCC's Public Safety and Homeland Security Bureau on June 4 issued DA 26-548, exempting VEX AIR classroom drones from the Covered List — the first education-market drone to clear national security review. The conditional approval, granted to Innovation First International, runs through December 31, 2026. Approved vendors now total 11, but DJI and Autel Robotics remain excluded. All drone exemptions expire at year-end 2026.
