About Skyports Drone Services
Skyports, founded in 2018, runs two businesses: Skyports Drone Services flies drones for rural deliveries, surveying, surveillance and maritime work, and Skyports Infrastructure builds vertiports for electric air taxis. Its remote pilots plan and fly the missions, from drone deliveries to offshore assets to infrastructure inspections, run the risk assessments and pre-flight checks, and report on each flight. Its drone hub operators are the ground crew: they set up the take-off and landing points, handle the batteries, help launch, watch and recover the flights, and keep the logbooks, on deployments of one to eight weeks or more that they choose themselves.
