Over the past three years, Coverdrone and Altitude angel have joined forces ensuring that they are bringing world class data into the ever-growing drone market. Essential safety and operating information that is current and on-demand to drone operators across the world is a result of the partnership.
Who are they?
Altitude Angel are a global company defining Unmanned Traffic Management (UTM). They are at the forefront of aviation technology companies, creating global-scale solutions to enable the use of safe integration and fully autonomous drones into global airspace.
As Coverdrone are the leading drone insurer, we felt we had an obligation and an opportunity to minimise potential claims and incidents through acting responsibly by delivering drone operators high quality information. By integrating Altitude Angel’s data feeds and app services into our FlySafe app it allows us to provide our customers with fundamental air space data. With simple navigation on our free FlySafe app, a client can find out about a multitude of beneficial and accurate safety data at their fingertips instantly!
This partnership has proved extremely successful, many thousands of our clients now utilise the flight data functions within our FlySafe app, which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of safe drone operations. This not only brings the obvious benefits to public safety; but also allows the industry to grow with a much better reputation.
