Consortiq Joins The Heathrow Fly2plan Project

Consortiq has a unique place in this project as the representatives of the End-Users, the drone operators and hardware manufacturers, and as one of only two organisations on the project that have experience in the drone industry. Engagement with both users and manufacturers will be critical to the success of the project, building a product that’s unusable by pilots & operators or requires too much of the hardware manufacturers will limit its viability from day one. 

With the Consortiq team’s background in Manned and Unmanned aviation, including Air Traffic Control Engineering, they understand the challenges integrating high volumes of drone flights will present and the importance of safety and security in our Air Traffic systems infrastructure. Consortiq believes that Blockchain is a potentially game-changing technology for these systems whilst meeting all the criteria that supporting infrastructure critical to Britain’s economy demand.

Consortiq’s Managing Director, Gareth Beverley said: “This project has the potential to kickstart the revolution of Air Traffic Management, and we’re proud to be part of it. Our driving passion is to find a better way for our customers to achieve their goals whether its powerline or runway inspections, or delivering thousands of packages a day, and a system that will help them plan and safely fly missions in any airspace safely certainly fits that bill.”
