Who we are

Pilots first.
Drones second.

Airdrone is a small team of professional UAS pilots based in Irvine, Scotland. We do five things: inspection, survey, aerial media, event coverage and renewables work — all to a CAA-approved operations manual, all with full insurance, all delivered by a flight crew that has been on the ground long before take-off.

What we do

Five capabilities,
one flight crew.

From a single roof inspection to a multi-day offshore wind campaign. Every job is planned to our CAA-approved Operations Manual and carries full commercial drone insurance as standard.
