Following preparatory work on the project last summer, the U-Space system was presented on 29 October 2024. "The progress was presented by the Air Navigation team to the Minister of the Ministry of Transport and Communications, Marius Skuodis, the Transport Competence Agency and representatives of Lithuanian airports. They were able to observe a demonstration flight of the drone and how it was controlled through the new system.

We are pleased to have been able to present the DBOX and demonstrate its operation and live data capture to the participants during the event.

"The introduction of this system will significantly facilitate the management of drone traffic, while standardizing processes and providing stakeholders with information more quickly. This will reduce drone-related risks for citizens, institutions and businesses and ensure smoother operations," said Saulius Batavičius, Director General of AIr Navigation.

Soon, both drone pilots and citizens will be able to connect to the U-Space system via a mobile app, which will provide flight confirmation, traffic information and other services.

Keeping pace with new regulations and technologies is not always easy, but it is a challenge that motivates growth. We believe that there will be no shortage of them in the future.
