Extrapolation to all over Europe
Objectives

We work to ensure safe and fair access for all airspace users
we facilitate implementation of research results between research and implementation
We contribute to the consolidation of standardization and regulatory requirements
“U-ELCOME; A name chosen on purpose.
We want to welcome the daily commercial drone operations in Europe by 2026.We want these drone operations to be sustainable and profitable for drone operators and providers.
We want these drone operations safe and eco-friendly, and we want them useful, meaningful and clear for the citizens. To do so, 51 European companies are implementing the necessary infrastructure, systems, services and operational procedures in 15 locations in Spain, France and Italy.
U-space U1 and U2 implementation in these cities and regions will support local development of drone operations and will allow the benefits of real-life experience to be replicated through Europe. We take-off together.”
