Package Delivery
Semi-autonomous, BVLOS
fleets for standardized
drone delivery from logistics
centers to your front door.
Recreational Drones
Early adoption of remote
helicopters and
quadcopters for hobby use,
including photography.
Enterprise Drones
Individual & fleet deployment
across agriculture, inspection,
construction, mining, public
safety, and more.
Drones as a Service
Connecting the general public to end
services offered by fully autonomous,
BVLOS drones. Tap to request a roof
inspection, no pilot required.
eVTOLs
Fully autonomous
VTOL* aircraft
equipped to take 1 or
more passengers (or
freight) to and from
their destinations. We are here.

with first commercial operation projected for 2023.
2015
Drone use cases are evolving rapidly to serve people in their everyday lives,Their implementation will need smarter airspace management, regulation, and civic engagement.

Drone adoption at scale presents massive opportunities for enterprises as well as
urgent challenges for airspace authorities and society at large.
Ensure no drone
compromises national
security or public safety
Ensure drones bring
economic benefits to the
people & the economy
Ensure manned
aviation safety is
safeguarded
Ensure all drone
operations comply with
the rules
Find sustainable
business models to pay
for UTM
Ensure people’s privacy,
property and safety are
protected
Gain some control on
access & use of low altitude
airspace over my
communities
Ensure use of drones bring
benefits to my communities
Easily get clear and reliable
information on the rules applicable to
my / my customer’s missions
Gain the ability to easily fly across
more airspaces
Connect with a system easy to
integrate with, and will work
everywhere I / my customer want to fly
Easily get the guidance I need to fly
safely / meet my compliance obligations
Easily find places where I can fly my
drone safely
Connect with providers / use solutions
that bring tangible benefits and can
operate in compliance at scale

All stakeholders must and can take actions today to embrace and promote the safe,
sustainable, and viable integration of drones.
Use the AirMap app for drone, or a
drone solutions powered by AirMap
platform
Integrate your solution with AirMap
platform APIs / SDK to get the widest
and safest access to airspace today,
and tomorrow
Select drones and drone solution
providers embedding airspace
intelligence, guidance, authorization
and real time notifications in their
offering to enhance compliance and
safety of drones usage
Register and
authenticate all drones,
operators and pilots to
identify who & what is
flying.. and more easily
spot “suspicious flights”
Integrate with your
CUAV detections
solutions
Make as many drone
users aware of the
rules applicable to their
intended flight plans
Streamline / automate
processing of flights
authorizations requests
Visualize drone
activities and
communicate with
pilots in real time to
increase awareness
and safety
Expose the rules applicable
to drones activities in your
communities
Create & expose
geofences, time & place
restrictions to organize
drones activities in your
communities
Promote drone activities
that deliver value and
comply with your local
policies
Tech-enabled public-private partnerships can solve for the physical & social complexities of
safe drone integration in low-altitude airspace
AirMap opens the airspace for drones
by building the leading global UTM platform
to support a secure and sustainable drone ecosystem.
AirMap Mission
AirMap is an open technology platform connecting the drone ecosystem
to unlock value for pilots, businesses, authorities, and communities.
Rules & Safety Standards
AirMap integrates with ATM systems to give
airspace authorities a complete view of all air
traffic, with authorization, monitoring, and
deconfliction.
Global Situational Awareness
AirMap informs drone operators of where, when
and how to fly safely and responsibly, anywhere in
the world.
Robust Enterprise Services
AirMap helps businesses to leverage commercial
drone applications with digital services ensuring
efficiency, performance, and compliance
Transparency & Accountability
AirMap help authorities keep communities aware
and informed of nearby drone operations with
public-facing cloud-based dashboards.
Highly-rated mobile apps. Available for Android and iOS. Custom branding available. Powered by the AirMap SDK.
