From flight planning to piloting to processed data, our drone services deliver the aerial intelligence you need; with a full operations team behind every mission, not a freelancer with a consumer drone.
We're flying in these ports
Drone services that deliver fast, reliable aerial insights
Avy is a drone services (and manufacturer) company based in Amsterdam. We fly weekly in the Port of Amsterdam and the Port of Rotterdam and soon Antwerp. We have run missions across Europe and Africa. Most operators are one pilot with an off-the-shelf drone; we are an operation. That means a dedicated regulations and compliance lead, a safety manager, licensed pilots, a custom logistics van and an operations centre. The star in our operation is our very own long-range aircraft, Aera, purpose built for the work. We are a specialised team cleared to run complex beyond-visual-line-of-sight missions safely, repeatedly, over large and sensitive sites.
Potential use cases
Commodities
Qualify and quantify what's coming in and out
Monitoring
Have routine coverage on a daily or weekly basis
Inspection
Get an overview of a large area as well as a closer look
Respond
Fly to the location of an emergency
One flight, several answers
Because Aera carries professional sensors and covers large areas in a single BVLOS flight, one mission can serve several needs at once. Over a bulk-storage terminal, the same flight can measure stockpile volumes; coal, steel, aggregates and other commodities, for the parties who need quantity data, while capturing the damage and structural detail the asset owners need for inspection. One deployment, one set of flight costs, multiple data products. That is only possible with the operational authority and the aircraft to match, which is what separates us from a spot-hire drone pilot.
Where we fly
We are based in Amsterdam and fly weekly in the Port of Amsterdam and the Port of Rotterdam, with Antwerp becoming a regular operation soon. Our clients in the Netherlands and Belgium fly with us on a recurring basis, and we have run missions across Europe and into Africa.
