Fly under our authority
Operate your aircraft within our certificated structure while your own U.S. approvals mature.
Service — OEMs
UAS testing & OEM flight operations
Your aircraft, our airfield, real U.S. airspace. We give drone manufacturers a certificated operator, aviation facilities, and FAA relationships — so you can prove your platform instead of building an operation.
What we provide
Everything between your aircraft and the sky
- Flight test planning and airspace coordination
- Certificated, current flight crews
- Hangar, maintenance, and staging infrastructure at our North Carolina aviation campus
- Payload, endurance, and reliability validation
- Demonstration flights for customers, investors, and regulators
- Operational data with air-carrier-grade documentation
Testing with an operating Part 135 air carrier means your results carry weight: the same procedures, logs, and safety systems that stand behind our 250,000 commercial deliveries stand behind your test data.
Built for OEMs
Especially valuable if you're not from here
For international manufacturers, U.S. market entry usually stalls on operations and approvals — not technology. We remove both blockers.
Proven pathway
Swiss manufacturer RigiTech partners with us for U.S. operations — a template for OEMs crossing the Atlantic or Pacific.
Speak FAA fluently
BEYOND program participation and daily air-carrier operations mean we know what the FAA expects before they ask.
