Establishing the UK’s first commercial drone corridor.
Establishing the UK’s first commercial drone corridor.
Paving the way for commercial drone flights
Paving the way for commercial drone flights
Clearing a safe path for commercial drones to support businesses and drive innovation.
- Overcoming the challenge of flying drones beyond the visual line of sight, making the skies safe for drones to fly in unrestricted airspace.
Commercial drone corridor
- In 2023/24, the Skyway team will carry out trials in the 265km-long drone corridor to show how business, healthcare and emergency services can make the most of safe airspace.
Flight trials
- Research is paving the way for the future of drone flight, safely opening up the skies and providing a framework for subsequent drone zones.

Project Skyway is rising to the challenge
Infrastructure inspection
Our trials will showcase how drones can be used to assess maintenance needs and inspect damage for critical national infrastructure like power lines, railway tracks and cell towers.

Search and rescue
We’re exploring how drone technology can speed up response times for emergency incidents to improve the chances of survival for injured and missing persons, while also reducing costs and driving efficiencies.
