Leveraging AirMap UTM Dashboard, the ANS CR can manage authorisations for drone flights in the controlled airspace surrounding Václav Havel Airport Prague.

The new technology will give airspace managers a complete view of their managed airspace. It will allow them to configure, monitor, and automate their management with a user-friendly Cloud-based dashboard.

AirMap co-founder and chairman Ben Marcus said: “By opening up more airspace we are helping give rise to a new drone economy.

“The Czech Republic is among the global first movers in the race to capture a share of the tremendous opportunity that drones represent as they become more and more a part of our everyday lives.”

The latest deployment in the Czech Republic marks AirMap’s second nationwide adoption in Europe. Earlier, the Swiss aviation authority skyguide deployed AirMap as part of Europe’s first national drone traffic management system.

Additionally, AirMap provides UTM services in the US, New Zealand, and Japan.
