— ABOUT SKEYDRONE
Safeguarding critical infrastructure.
Enabling the drone operations that serve it. Both, without compromise.
SkeyDrone was founded on a simple observation: uncrewed aviation was growing rapidly, and the infrastructure to manage it safely wasn’t keeping pace. Today, we provide the operational layer that makes lower airspace work for airports, ports, infrastructure operators, and the drone pilots operating within it.
— ORIGIN
Built by those who managed the airspace.
In February 2020, skeyes, Belgium’s air navigation service provider, launched SkeyDrone as a dedicated subsidiary to address the growing complexity of lower airspace. The founding team brought deep expertise from skeyes and Eurocontrol: professionals who had spent careers managing the skies and understood precisely where the gaps were.
The starting point wasn’t a technology in search of a use case. It was a clearly defined operational problem: fragmented data, no shared airspace picture, and decisions being made without sufficient context.
In October 2021, Brussels Airport Company became a 50% shareholder, bringing additional operational aviation expertise and positioning SkeyDrone at the centre of one of Europe’s most active aviation environments.

Operational layer for lower airspace
Serving airports, ports, infrastructure operators and drone pilots.
— MISSION
These goals are not in conflict. An airspace that is properly monitored, contextualised, and managed is one where legitimate drone operations can take place reliably and at scale.
Safety and enablement are two sides of the same infrastructure.
Safeguarding the lower airspace and securing critical infrastructure, while supporting safe, sustainable drone operations.
— THE TEAM
The people behind the platform.
From air traffic management veterans to software engineers and product designers, our team is made up of highly skilled professionals who are passionate about their work and are always looking for ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible.
