Drone flights around areas designated as “protected aerodromes” in the United Kingdom are restricted. If you want to fly a drone around London Heliport, London’s only licensed heliport, you need to submit an authorization request. Here’s how to do it…

The UK-based unified traffic management (UTM) specialist Altitude Angel is having a busy week – first with the rollout of a low-altitude drone and aircraft detection network, and then with the unveiling of UAV and future advanced air mobility (AAM) flight approval tech designed to thrust its domestic market to the top readiness leaders in emerging aerial activities.

Drone Assist, a popular flight planning tool in the United Kingdom, has received its most extensive update since the app was first launched in 2016. The new version begins rolling out today for both iOS and Android devices.

Unified Traffic Management (UTM) technology provider Altitude Angel says it’s ready to unveil the next generation of simulation modeling, which puts the airspace manager at the very heart of the flight. This “first of its kind” simulator for airspace management shows drones and crewed aircraft sharing the same skies. It will premiere at the Airspace World industry expo, which is scheduled to take place in Geneva, Switzerland, from March 8-10.

UK companies BT and unified traffic management (UTM) specialist Altitude Angel have struck a deal, combining their work building the nation’s 165-mile drone superhighway based on an agreement that gives the telecom giant an equity stake in the start-up.

Leading developer of uncrewed air traffic management (UTM) systems Altitude Angel says it is partnering with military and civil aviation hardware and tech unit Saab to integrate navigational assets for safe aerial flight of both uncrewed and piloted vehicles into the Swedish company’s r-TWR Digital Tower platform.

The UK government announced Monday that it had given its awaited approval for the creation of a drone “superhighway” spanning the Midlands to the country’s southeast – a 165-mile UAV corridor touted as the longest of its kind.

A UK consortium has revealed its blueprint to build the world’s largest and longest “drone superhighway,” connecting towns and cities across the nation. The 165-mile (265 km) Project Skyway is being hailed as “the most ambitious transport project proposed for the UK since the advent of the railway network in the 18th century.”

GuardianUTM, a cloud platform by UTM (unified traffic management) technology provider Altitude Angel, will be now be integrated into a not-for-profit search and rescue (SAR) solutions management system, SarStuff.

UTM provider Altitude Angel has announced it will power AirHub’s enterprise solutions and operations management platform. AirHub’s platform offers drone operators one easy-to-use workflow to plan, execute, and manage missions legally and efficiently.

Altitude Angel has announced its latest product, an airspace management solution for airports to manage drones in the airspace better. The new platform will also allow airports to better equip themselves for the upcoming EASA U-Space Regulations, which are expected to go live on January 1, 2023.

Altitude Angel has announced it expects to become Europe’s foremost supplier of UTM (Unified Traffic Management) technologies. The company’s UTM platform has already supported over 20,000 drone flights in Controlled (CTR) and Restricted Airspace (FRZ) over the last 12 months.

Altitude Angel has announced its Pop-Up UTM platform built with Inmarsat has won the 2020 Air Traffic Management (ATM) Magazine award. The UTM Service Suppliers category of the awards aims to recognize “pioneering technologies and procedures developed by UTM service suppliers to advance safety and complex operations.”

Altitude Angel has announced it has joined an EU initiative by the name of AMU-LED, focusing on the future of air mobility. The European Commission created the initiative, which has the job of demonstrating how drones can be safely integrated into the skies.

European VC Octopus Ventures has announced it has invested an additional £4 million ($5.3) in British-based UTM provider Altitude Angel. The investment ends the company’s round of Series A funding and brings the funding total for 2020 to £7.05 million ($9.4).

Altitude Angel in partnership with Inmarsat and A-TechSYN, has successfully shown off its Pop-Up UTM platform during a recent test flight. The test allowed for a beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) flight to take place in a safe way that allows it to share the airspace with crewed aircraft.

Altitude Angel has announced that it will work with entertainment company BT to create a consortium for the ‘future flight’ drones project. The partnership will see a wide range of drone use cases being explored in preparation for the UK’s first commercial drone corridor.

UTM provider Altitude Angel has been shortlisted for two ATM Magazine awards for its partnerships with Inmarsat and LVNL. The company has been working tirelessly over the year to create new partnerships and make drone operations safer with its infrastructure-free UTM network.

Drone mission planning platform Drone Harmony has selected Altitude Angel to provide global map data for the platform. The map data will use the company’s UTM platform to ensure drone missions are safe and stay out of the way of other aircraft.

The Air traffic control agency Luchtverkeersleiding Nederland (LVNL) in the Netherlands is working with Altitude Angel to power its GoDrone platform. The partnership will allow Dutch pilots to create an account and submit flight applications. It’s a process that was previously done over the phone or via email.
