With the new EU regulations coming into force on December 31st 2020, this guide aims to shed light on what this means for drone operators. With a special guest piece by Airhub, this part explores how this harmonisation of the drone market will be a gamechanger for drones in the EU.

Official press release from Medical Drone Service announces the first test flights for emergency medical deliveries by drone will start between locations: Isala Hospital Meppel and Zwolle in The Netherlands. These flights over sparsely- populated areas marks a milestone for the future of medical delivery drones.

In collaboration with Wattlab, solar panel specialist, Avy has manufactured a fixed-wing drone equipped with custom solar foil to absorb and reflect more sunlight. The successful test flight is a small, but sunny step towards flying emission-free.

In our final edition of the Safety Series, Part 3 delves into data protection and the protocols put in place at Avy. Through our strong ties with renowned partners like the EU and Auterion, we explore why data is gathered during first response operations and how it’s protected in accordance to GDPR standards.

In continuation to our previous edition of the Safety Series, part 2 dives into Avy’s operations and the integration of the Avy Aera with Auterion’s software. With a guest piece by Auterion, we also explore the operational mitigations and risk assessments conducted by Flight Ops to ensure reliability in all our flights.

After winning the safety award at the Lake Kivu Challenge, in a three part series we dive into the reliability of our Avy Aera drone and what that means for the team. Part 1 of the series explores the FMEA, SORA and Safety by Design principle adopted by Avy and the team's overall commitment to safety.

Avy is recognised for its future proof innovation and receives EIC Accelerator subsidy grant of 1.4 million euros, to help with expanding experience and expertise within Europe.

Avy takes part in Drone2Go, a collaborative project initiated by 5 national first responder organisations searching for a drone-in-a-box solution. In our first demo, we take on the challenge of deploying a VTOL fixed-wing drone out of a box.

We dive into the challenges that are currently faced in healthcare logistics, exploring the purpose of delivery drones in the medical field and developments within the EU.
