About
Airspace Link is an enterprise-grade Drone Operations Management System (DOMS) designed to safely integrate unmanned aerial systems (UAS) into public and commercial airspace. Built around the FAA-approved AirHub® Portal, the platform offers an all-in-one solution covering UAS Traffic Management (UTM), safety authorizations, fleet oversight, geospatial planning, and multi-agency coordination — supporting everything from today's visual-line-of-sight (VLOS) flights to future beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) operations under proposed FAA Parts 108 and 146. Airspace Link's FlySafe Program empowers cities and communities through a structured UAS Integration Framework, helping governments launch turnkey drone programs for public safety, emergency response, infrastructure inspection, and economic development. Law enforcement agencies use the system for search and rescue, crowd monitoring, accident documentation, and tactical operations. Commercial operators benefit from streamlined regulatory compliance, waiver management, and real-time airspace awareness. The platform includes an AirHub® API for developers to integrate drone safety data into custom workflows, as well as direct integration with the FAA's B4UFLY and LAANC authorization systems. With over 44,700 daily FAA safety and security checks processed and 89,145 monthly active users, Airspace Link is purpose-built for enterprise and government customers who need scalable, regulation-ready drone program management. It also supports Counter-UAS (C-UAS) initiatives and federal grant coordination for critical infrastructure protection.

- UAS Traffic Management (UTM): Provides real-time airspace coordination and traffic management across all operator types, from recreational pilots to commercial fleets and government agencies.
- LAANC & B4UFLY Integration: Seamlessly connects with FAA's Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability (LAANC) and B4UFLY systems for fast, automated flight authorizations.
- FlySafe City Program: A turnkey UAS integration framework that helps municipalities build structured drone programs for public safety, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response.
- AirHub® API for Developers: A robust API enabling developers and enterprise customers to integrate Airspace Link's drone safety and airspace data into custom applications and workflows.
Use Cases
- City and county governments building turnkey drone programs for public safety, infrastructure inspection, and emergency response coordination.
- Law enforcement agencies deploying drones for search and rescue, accident documentation, crowd monitoring, and tactical operations.
- Commercial fleet operators managing regulatory compliance, FAA authorizations, and multi-site drone activity through a centralized portal.
- State agencies coordinating Counter-UAS (C-UAS) security programs and applying for federal drone security grants for critical infrastructure protection.
- Developers integrating FAA airspace safety and drone authorization data into custom applications via the AirHub® API.
Pros
- FAA-Compliant & Future-Proof: Built to support current FAA Part 107 requirements and designed to stay compliant with upcoming BVLOS regulations (Parts 108 & 146), reducing long-term compliance risk.
- All-in-One Government Solution: Combines fleet management, geospatial planning, regulatory authority tools, and multi-agency coordination into a single managed platform — reducing the need for multiple vendors.
- Proven Scale: Processes over 44,700 safety checks daily and supports more than 6,300 government and commercial agencies, demonstrating enterprise-grade reliability.
- Federal Funding Support: Helps agencies navigate and secure federal grants (e.g., C-UAS funding) to fund drone security and infrastructure programs at no additional cost to cities.
Cons
- Enterprise & Government Focus: The platform is primarily designed for government entities and large commercial operators; individual hobbyists or small businesses may find it overpowered for their needs.
- U.S.-Centric Regulatory Scope: Built around FAA regulations and U.S. federal standards, limiting its immediate applicability for international drone operators or non-U.S. government entities.
- Pricing Not Publicly Listed: As an enterprise solution, pricing is not transparent and likely requires direct engagement with the sales team, which can slow procurement for smaller agencies.
