Drones cause a lot of trouble even with little air traffic." This was announced by the DFS German Air Traffic Control in January 2021 via a press release. According to DFS, there were a total of 92 reported disabilities caused by drones in German airspace in 2020. A clear minus compared to previous years, which was, however, less severe than the drastic reduction in air traffic in the Corona year 2020. And more than half of the reported incidents led to disruptions in air traffic. Air traffic control and airport operators are therefore placing great hopes in the system for effective drone detection, which DFS is to develop on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure . in theIn the summer of last year, DFS investigated what an effective use of current detection systems at the major airports in Frankfurt and Munich could look like in live operation .
Choose Paris Region, Groupe ADP, and the RATP Group combine the goal of establishing an ecosystem of large corporations, small and medium-sized companies, start-ups and universities in the Paris region in the long term and creating the conditions for drones to complement the existing mobility offer can be established. An important step in this direction is the establishment of a test field at the Pontoise airfield, around 35 km north-west of Paris. In the first half of 2021, the necessary processes on the airfield, in the area of entry and exit within the building as well as maintenance and operation are to be established. In cooperation with the French civil aviation authority DGACAccording to current plans, air taxi operations can then be tested in a real airport environment in June 2021, with Volocopter apparently first on the train.
In order to get interested players enthusiastic about the ambitious project and at the same time be able to select the most suitable comrades-in-arms, a worldwide call for partner applications was placed under the motto "Re.Invent Air Mobility". Between October 1st and November 13th, 2020, 150 interested companies from 25 countries expressed their interest in a cooperation, this week the 30 companies were named, which are in the categories of aircraft development, urban infrastructure, operational flight operations, airspace integration and acceptance studies could particularly excel. Including many internationally known names such as Zipline, EHang, Skyports, Airbus, Air France or the University of California, Berkeley.
