Exciting discussions are underway between a drone company and Blackpool Airport, hinting at future collaborations in drone technology
Blackpool: So, there’s this company called Project Noctua that’s been chatting with the folks at Blackpool Airport. They’re working on some pretty cool drones that are way bigger than the usual ones. They think these drones could really help out emergency services down the line.
They shared on LinkedIn that they’re all about safety and innovation. Recently, they had a meeting at the airport, and their Project Director, Steve Fitzgerald, was there to discuss some important stuff. They talked about air traffic management and how crucial it is to keep communication smooth for this whole project to work.
Project Noctua is super excited about what’s coming next. They believe these drones could be game-changers for search and rescue missions or even for police and fire services during emergencies. However, the airport hasn’t said much yet since the talks are still in the early stages.
Blackpool Airport is on a mission to grow, with plans for a new passenger terminal and more hangars. They’re looking to bring in all sorts of aviation options. Plus, BAE Systems, based in Warton, is also working on drone tech for military use. It’s an exciting time for aviation in the area!
