The varied and extensive experience that the team brings will boost DRONAMICS’ position as it prepares for its demonstration, followed by first commercial flights from Malta, the company’s European Operations base.
”The regulatory, operational and flying expertise that our complete team brings puts us in a strong position to fulfill our ambitions for 2022 and beyond. As our first European operations base, Malta will play a key role in establishing our commercial capabilities across Europe.” – said Sergio Oliveira e Silva, Chief Operating Officer of DRONAMICS
