Innovative aerial services (IAS) is an ever emerging sector that spreads beyond the core of the aviation technological developments. This session focuses on drone applications covering all potential drone-based services, while excluding passengers’ transportation, and the potential of impact they can have in urban, metropolitan, and rural/regional populated environments. The session will present and discuss real-life drone deployments, and the lessons learnt from them. It will build on these lessons to look forward to the needs for innovation and deployment initiatives to unlock the market while ensuring wider acceptance for the deployment of drones. Speakers from leading organisations will share their experiences from, and prospects for, cutting edge deployment opportunities and innovation in the area of drone applications towards the deployment of scaled innovative aerial services.
