Permissions matter

Approved for business locations, airports, FRZs and restricted areas.

Most of the sites we're asked to fly, live commercial premises, near airports, inside Flight Restriction Zones, around Network Rail corridors, military air bases and Royal estates, require enhanced CAA permissions, prior notification, and an operator with the track record to coordinate with the relevant authority. We hold and operate under those permissions every day. If you've been told "no" elsewhere, our route to flying it is almost certainly already in place.

Common questions

Drone surveys in this area

Can you fly drones near Aberdeen's controlled airspace?

Yes. We operate routinely under Aberdeen Airport CTR. Our enhanced CAA permissions and notification procedures let us fly safely in and around controlled airspace where standard operators are restricted, including airport approach paths and Flight Restriction Zones.

Do you cover Aberdeen central areas like City Centre and Old Aberdeen?

Yes. We routinely fly across Aberdeen including City Centre, Old Aberdeen and Dyce. Dense built-up areas, occupied commercial premises and live retail sites are all within scope under our enhanced CAA approval.

Can you fly drones near Marischal College or other Aberdeen landmarks?

Yes, where permitted. Iconic sites like Marischal College sit within or near restricted areas, but we work with the landowner, the relevant authority and the CAA where needed to secure the right permissions. We have a strong track record of getting "no" sites to "yes".

Do you survey housing portfolios across Aberdeen?

Yes. Multi-property thermal and roof surveys for housing associations and social landlords in Aberdeen are a routine workload. Reports are produced consistently across the entire portfolio in a single AIM Platform deliverable.

How quickly can you mobilise to Aberdeen?

Our pilots cover Aberdeen routinely as part of UK-wide commercial operations. Standard mobilisation is 5 to 10 working days from the booking. For urgent work we can usually deploy within 48 hours.

What does a typical drone survey deliverable look like in Aberdeen?

You receive the captured imagery, measured outputs, and an interactive AIM Platform link for your team. Aberdeen jobs are deliverable in the same browser-based viewer used for projects across the UK, no software install, no per-seat licences.
