DroneUp has been focused on bringing safe and reliable commercial drone delivery and inspection services across the United States and now looks to Europe as the next phase of growth and opportunity. With a high appetite for drone services, the European market is ripe for further development and advancement of commercial drone services to serve residents and businesses. Currently, there is a keen focus on commercial drone regulations across Europe, while in the North American market, the focus has been on scaling operations. DroneUp, through its recent expansion with Walmart, has been leading this charge in the United States by providing delivery to 4 million U.S. households while also playing a significant role in the FAA\u2019s Beyond Visual Line of Site (BVLOS) Aviation Rulemaking Committee<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DroneUp\u2019s focus and attention to safety, technology, and the\npreparation of its flight teams is something that attracted me. I look forward\nto bringing these operations to the European market that has been focused on\nits regulatory needs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the acquisition of AirMap, DroneUp has been\ncommitted to bringing together the global leaders in commercial drone\ntechnology.
