Mark Kegelaers, CEO of Unifly: “Airports and their surroundings are a highly specific and vulnerable area where it is vital for manned and unmanned aviation to coexist safely. A mature system is needed that monitors and communicates in real-time so all stakeholders are aware of the situation at all times. This is the only way to integrate drone traffic in a safe manner. With decades of experience in aviation, Integra Aviation Academy is an ideal partner for us in securing the airspace in even the most secure places, including around airports. We are very happy to collaborate with Integra Aviation Academy to take the next step in airspace safety.“ Michael Niels Thorsen, CEO of Integra: “The UTM platform is an important system to bridge the gap between manned and unmanned aviation near airports. At the moment, it is difficult to fly drones near or around airports without great costs and resources. Using the UTM solution airports can control and manage the drone operations by detecting, monitoring, documenting and tracking the drones. Unifly is a great match for combined development with their technical expertise, which complement the growing need for a safe airspace."
