Skyway and Zing Announce Strategic Partnership

Skyway Technologies Corp. announced its official strategic partnership with Zing Drone Delivery Inc. Joined by innovative autonomous solutions, this partnership will work to regulate protocol within the Urban Air Mobility (UAM) market as well as provide autonomous delivery solutions to businesses and residential users within the United States.

Skyway is an air traffic navigation Provider of Services for UAM (PSU) designed for autonomous aircraft and logistical services. The company’s mission is to provide the critical foundation required to create a fair open market economy in the United States. Their goal is to create a safe, scalable infrastructure to support the millions of potential airborne vehicles poised for flight within the next decade.

“The Urban Air Mobility infrastructure we build today will define the new sky economy of tomorrow.” – Clifford Cruz – Founder & CEO, Skyway

Zing plans to take part in Skyway’s initial beta testing of the platform in Florida in order to deconflict with other drones, air taxis, and other airborne vehicles that are flying in the same vicinity. Zing plans to incorporate Skyway’s Application Programming Interface (API) into its proprietary autonomous flight software to help further expand its services. This partnership will enable Zing to add another level of safety to their drone delivery platform as well as remain compliant with federal, state, and local procedures and ordinances.

“Our partnership with Skyway will enable us to begin expanding our operations in Florida,” said Ian Annase – Founder & CEO. “Zing Skyway’s unique approach to route planning and air navigation will enable us to plug into Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM) systems and deconflict with other aircraft. We are excited to see what comes of this initiative in 2022.”
