Integration of Approval Companies Platform Allows Seamless, Digital Flight Requests and Enhanced Security for Manned and Unmanned Plane
Altitude Angel, a Studying, UK-based Common Visitors Administration (UTM) supplier targeted on integrating drones and different UAVs into worldwide airspace, not too long ago introduced that they’d partnered with the Twente Airport and the Space53 drone innovation cluster to start out using their distinctive Approval Companies platform. It will permit drone operators, (and, sooner or later, eVTOL (digital Vertical Take Offf and Touchdown) pilots), to submit flight requests and pay for providers inside Twente Airport’s airspace digitally and seamlessly.
Twente Airport is the primary airport within the Netherlands to undertake this expertise, which has already seen intensive use throughout the UK in worldwide airports, regional helidromes, and heliports. With its assorted terrain and huge managed airspace, Twente offers the proper testbed for each crewed and uncrewed operations, having already hosted trials (in collaboration with Space53) for the Royal Netherlands Air Pressure, the nationwide police pressure, and Twente Fireplace and Rescue Service.
Mike Holsheimer, program supervisor of Space53 on the deployment of Approval Companies, stated, “As our drone partners are increasingly conducting beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS), within Twente Airport’s airspace, having just one source where the correct and real-time information can be found, showing both manned and unmanned activity, is crucial to ensure safety in and around the airport.”
Gerben Groothuis of Twente Airport added, “Altitude Angel’s Approval Services platform gives us the certainty we need to allow drone activity alongside that of manned aircraft. As the need for more unmanned flights arises for eVTOL and drone operators, the Approval Services platform will allow us to scale up our operations quickly, easily, and safely.”
Paul deHaan, Altitude Angel NL, Managing Director, commented, “Through the adoption of Approval Services, Twente Airport is enabling the next generation of airspace users – without doing so at the expense of existing operations. Crewed and uncrewed aircraft can share the same skies, safely and securely, if the right platforms and technology are deployed. Approval Services gives Twente Airport the flexibility to approve drone operations by allowing drone operators to submit flight plans, which take place in part wholly or in part, within an airport’s controlled airspace, quickly and securely, bringing together traditional air traffic control systems with digital unified traffic management solutions.”
