SafeSky EnterpriseAviant: Building Autonomous Delivery Network with SAIL III
How SafeSky enables a Norwegian logistics company to scale BVLOS operations into suburban areas
Aviant's autonomous delivery drone operating in suburban Norway
About Aviant
Aviant is a Norwegian drone-logistics company building an autonomous delivery network across Scandinavia. As they expand from sparsely populated areas into suburban and low-density metropolitan environments, they are applying for EASA SORA v2.5 at SAIL IIIoperational authorization.
Industry:
Drone logistics and autonomous delivery
Challenge:
Operating BVLOS in increasingly complex airspace while demonstrating compliance with SORA SAIL III requirements
The Challenge
Expanding autonomous delivery operations into suburban areas presents unique challenges:
Higher Air Risk
Increased manned aviation activity including helicopters, air ambulances, and general aviation in suburban corridors
SAIL III Requirements
Need to demonstrate tactical mitigation capability and reduce Air Risk Class from ARC-c to ARC-b
Real-Time Awareness
Need continuous monitoring of manned aviation positions to support tactical mitigation strategies
Scalable Solution
Must work reliably across multiple corridors without requiring dedicated ground observers
An air ambulance helicopter operating near a SafeSky ground station receiver. Ground stations enhance traffic coverage by capturing ADS-B, FLARM, and Mode-S signals from nearby manned aircraft, feeding real-time positions into the SafeSky network.
The Solution
Aviant integrated the SafeSky UAV Traffic API to provide real-time awareness of manned aviation activity across their operational corridors:
Real-Time Traffic Feed
API integration pulls live positions of helicopters, general aviation, and other aircraft within operational areas, updated every 3 seconds
Automated Alerting
Instant notifications when manned aircraft enter predefined safety zones around drone corridors, enabling proactive tactical mitigation
Bi-directional Visibility
Aviant's drone positions are shared back into the SafeSky network, making them visible to manned pilots using the SafeSky mobile app
SafeSky aggregated traffic data around Antwerp (September 2025), demonstrating the density and diversity of manned aviation activity that drone operators must account for.
Results
The integration enabled Aviant to demonstrate compliance with SORA SAIL III requirements:
SORA SAIL III Compliance
Demonstrated tactical mitigation capability (M2 - Strategic mitigations for the air risk), reducing Air Risk Class to ARC-b
Operational Efficiency
Automated traffic awareness eliminates need for dedicated ground observers on every flight
Key Outcomes:
The SafeSky platform plays a critical role in helping us maintain safety and compliance while scaling our services.
