🇫🇷🚨 THE MOST AMBITIOUS DRONE OPERATION IN FRANCE. AND WE’RE JUST GETTING STARTED. ⚡️🛰️ Last week I joined my teammates Country Manager Samir Belasri and Operations Manager Jean Guis in the South of France 🇫🇷 on a race-against-time operation, the most ambitious mission we’ve ever launched in France! A week that tested everything: our coordination, our pilots, our tech, and our limits. 💥 BEHIND THE SCENES Under the leadership of our COO and Chief of Pilots, we executed a first-class training and deployment operation a real masterclass in precision, safety, and scale. This wasn’t just another mission. It was a high-tempo, multi-day operation where European teams had to synchronise seamlessly: from planning to flight authorisations to execution. 🎯 WHAT WE ACHIEVED ✅ Elite training, real results. Pilots from across Southern Europe were deployed and fully operational within days. ✅ Record performance. In just the first week, we’ve reached an average of 25–35 km per pilot per day and we’re aiming to break the 70 km/day benchmark soon. ✅ Safety-first mindset. Every milestone achieved under strict compliance and airspace coordination no shortcuts, no compromises. ✅ France as a proving ground. Airpelago France faced one of the toughest legal and logistical environments in Europe and we’re proving that excellence and legality can scale together. 🧭 WHAT THIS MEANS Isn’t just about distance. It’s about discipline, teamwork, and operational maturity. Every kilometre reflects the effort of engineers, pilots, planners and regulators aligned under one vision: safe, autonomous, legal operations at scale. Massive respect to everyone involved in this operation from our COO Michael Gabassi and Chief of Pilots Mats J. to the crews on the ground making it happen every single day. This is how the future of European drone operations looks like: fast, coordinated, and compliant. 🚀 (Yes… that’s the view of Airpelago France)

🚨 EVERYONE TALKS ABOUT DRONES. FEW CAN PROVE THEY FLY LEGALLY. ⚖️🛰️ We’ve just crossed 100,000 km of autonomous aerial inspections across Europe. That’s not a milestone — it’s a message. Because behind every kilometre, every flight, every authorisation… there’s one reality most ignore 👇 💥 THE HARD TRUTH You can have the most advanced sensors, AI-assisted autonomy, 5G, or a drone that “flies beyond mountains” but if you’re not operating within the legal framework… you’re not scaling, you’re gambling. Too many missions are planned for show, not for approval. Too many operators sell “BVLOS-ready” when what they mean is “BVLOS-hopeful.” And when things go wrong, there’s no PowerPoint slide that saves you. 🎯 WHAT WE’VE LEARNED (AFTER +100,000 KM) ✅ Legal = Scalable. Authorised operations aren’t a bottleneck — they’re your ticket to grow safely and sustainably. ✅ Autonomy needs maturity. Flying beyond visual line of sight isn’t just tech — it’s about process, responsibility, and trust with regulators. ✅ Europe is ready. From France 🇫🇷, Sweden 🇸🇪, Portugal 🇵🇹, the UK 🇬🇧, Germany 🇩🇪, Norway 🇳🇴, Finland 🇫🇮, Switzerland 🇨🇭, and many others — we’ve proven that large-scale, autonomous, legal operations are not the future — they’re happening now. 🧭 WHAT WE BELIEVE The future of drone operations is about companies that lead not by cutting corners, but by setting new operational standards. Airpelago Autonomous. Certified. Repeatable. Accountable. That’s how we build an industry that lasts. We’re not chasing hype, we’re building. And every kilometre we fly legally brings the entire European drone sector one step closer to its full potential. Let’s raise the bar. 🚀
