Drone Operators Navigating the Path to Integrated Airspace

As the UK accelerates efforts to enable and integrate drones into its lower airspace, frontline operators like Bristow, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA), and the National Police Air Service (NPAS), are at the vanguard of this work. NATS, the UK’s leading air navigation service provider, is playing a pivotal role in these operations by enabling safe and scalable airspace access: working with the regulator, creating concepts of operations and developing new technology and data solutions. Together, these organisations are generating the evidence and solutions, both technical and operational that are needed to unlock the next phase of commercial drone operations in the UK. Join us to explore how operators and airspace managers are navigating regulatory frameworks, trialling cutting-edge technologies, and driving collaborative innovation to shape the future of UK airspace.
