  • Partnership will make UTM more accessible and user-friendly

  • Cooperation will open the door for advanced drone applications in emergency response, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, and more

  • Partnership combines AirHub’s advanced mission management platform with Frequentis’ UTM technology, for seamless data exchange and real-time situational Awareness


Frequentis and Dutch drone enterprise solutions innovator AirHub have announced a strategic partnership aimed at making Uncrewed Traffic Management (UTM) more accessible and user-friendly for drone operators across Europe and beyond. This collaboration focuses on simplifying UTM services, ensuring seamless and easy-to-use solutions for public safety, critical infrastructure, and commercial applications, including police and fire departments, many of which are already AirHub clients.

The partnership combines AirHub’s advanced mission management platform with Frequentis’ UTM technology, designed for seamless data exchange and real-time situational awareness. This integration empowers drone operators to efficiently plan, execute, and manage missions in compliance with regulatory requirements while benefiting from real-time geospatial data, digital flight approvals, and live telemetry monitoring—all from a single intuitive interface.


Driving European airspace modernisation

The collaboration aims to modernise airspace management by making UTM services more accessible to all drone operators. By utilising Frequentis' UTM capabilities, the platform enables secure, efficient information exchange between drone operators, air navigation service providers (ANSPs), and government agencies. This ensures seamless synchronisation of crewed and uncrewed air traffic, enhancing safety and reducing complexity in both urban and rural environments.

With Frequentis’ market-leading UTM solution, AirHub users will experience streamlined approval processes and real-time airspace authorisation, supporting complex drone missions with high reliability. This opens the door for advanced drone applications in emergency response, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, and more.


Unlocking new UTM capabilities

“By partnering with AirHub we will expand our UTM capabilities across Europe. This strategic collaboration aligns perfectly with our mission to enable safe and efficient drone operations through secure, real-time communication channels. Integrating AirHub’s intuitive platform with our robust UTM infrastructure will set new standards for airspace safety, compliance, and scalability,” states Thomas Pilsl, Frequentis Vice President New Market Solutions.

The partnership also unlocks new UTM capabilities, including the ability for operators to seamlessly share flight reports and live telemetry with Frequentis' secure UTM network. Through this integration, mission-critical data is synchronised instantly, providing stakeholders with a complete overview of airspace activities. This supports coordinated drone flights in controlled and uncontrolled airspace, paving the way for scalable drone deployments.

“Our partnership with Frequentis marks a major milestone for AirHub. By integrating with Frequentis' world-class UTM platform, we are expanding our ability to offer real-time, compliant, and secure airspace management to our platform’s users. This collaboration not only enhances safety but also accelerates the adoption of drone technology across Europe and beyond,” says Thomas Brinkman, CEO of AirHub.


Leading the way to a digitally connected European sky

This strategic partnership underscores a shared vision of digitally connected skies, where crewed and uncrewed aircraft seamlessly operate in a harmonised airspace. Both Frequentis and AirHub are committed to supporting the Digital European Sky initiative, contributing to the safe and efficient integration of drones into Europe's airspace.
