Company Overview

Skyports Drone Services is a UK-registered company operating as a commercial drone airline providing end-to-end drone delivery and drone inspection services across 13 countries. It is a subsidiary of Skyports Limited — a broader advanced air mobility group that also operates Skyports Infrastructure (vertiport design, build, and operation) and Skyports London Heliport. The Drone Services division focuses specifically on operational drone flight services rather than infrastructure.

The company's delivery services span multiple use cases: rural delivery of high-value cargo where ground transportation is limited; medical delivery of pathology samples, medicines, and medical equipment between healthcare facilities, with certified cold chain environments and dangerous goods approvals; offshore cargo delivery serving oil and gas platforms and wind farm infrastructure even in conditions that ground helicopters; and ship-to-shore delivery for maritime clients including cash-to-master and bunker samples. The fleet is described as all-electric, and the service can carry up to 150 kg of cargo per flight. Maximum range per the company's service description is undisclosed in precise figures but covers hard-to-reach environments across its operating countries.

For inspection services, Skyports Drone Services provides automated drone inspection of powerlines, energy infrastructure, and other industrial assets, as well as drone-in-a-box monitoring and surveillance, and ISR-as-a-Service (Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance). The company holds Cyber Essentials certification and holds BVLOS permissions across its operating jurisdictions. It runs permanent Remote Operations Centres (ROC) in the UK and Singapore, with mobile and temporary ROCs deployed in each operational country.

Clients and partners include NHS (UK National Health Service), Equinor (offshore energy), Royal Mail, Yeosu City (South Korea), Sumitomo, ST Engineering, and Swoop Aero, among others. The company is headquartered in the United Kingdom and employs operational staff including remote pilots based in Aylesbury, England. Leadership includes CEO Duncan Walker, CFO Mark Budd, CTO Ankit Dass, and Chief Regulatory Officer Simon Whalley.
