Your Drone Department, Fully Outsourced.
Managing drone operations in-house means recruiting pilots, buying equipment, maintaining airframes, managing compliance, handling insurance, and building reporting workflows. It's expensive, complex, and difficult to scale.
Airframe's Managed Drone Services and Drone-as-a-Service model eliminates all of that. We become your drone operations team — bringing the pilots, equipment, compliance, scheduling, and reporting under a single, flexible agreement that scales with your needs.
Everything Your Drone Programme Needs.
Flight Operations
Mission planning, flight execution, and real-time aerial data capture handled end-to-end by our operations team.
Pilot Provision
Qualified, insured, CAA-compliant pilots deployed to your sites on schedule, with no recruitment or training required.
