Drones for good
made in Amsterdam
Avy is a leading autonomous VTOL drone manufacturer and operator. We design, build and fly drones for ports, energy, defense, emergency services and critical infrastructure.
Our drone network brings together three components: aircraft, autonomous dock and software platform. Our fixed-wing VTOL drones fly themselves, our Dock deploys and recharges without crew on site, and our network ties it all together.
This integrated system gives operators something traditional aviation cannot: a fully autonomous, scalable drone network. No pilot on site. No complex logistics. Deploy in 30 seconds. Recharge automatically. Fly again. All managed from a single control center.
We operate across Europe as a fully certified BVLOS operator with extensive regulatory credentials We're not new to this — we've been flying autonomous drones since 2016.

Amsterdam
Avy started as a crazy idea. A frustration about the inefficiency of moving people through the air. Today we're tackling that with vertical take-off + landing, unmanned electric flight, and autonomy.

Vision
Open skies
A future where drones and nature coexist in harmony. Where people look up at a drone and smile. Where the ability to fly isn't a privilege, it’s a tool, available to anyone with a purpose worthy of it.
