Tour 1: Paving the way for integrated drone operations in Europe (tour 1)

This tour brings you up close to some of the leading projects working to make safe, efficient, and scalable drone operations a reality across Europe’s skies. As drones become more integrated into everyday airspace, U-space services play a critical role in ensuring safe coexistence with crewed aviation—especially in complex and controlled environments. This tour showcases real-world U-space research and demonstration projects across Europe, from beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations near Class-C airspace to national-level rollouts and cross-border coordination.
