Flyability has been acknowledged by Airwards as the winner in the Survey and Inspection category for its entry Confined Space Inspection Drones.

Over the past year, Flyability has reported on the use of its indoor Elios drones in the ice caves of Greenland, an abandoned nuclear reactor at Chernobyl, and a dam being built at over a mile (1.6 km) high in the Swiss Alps.

In addition to these unique missions, Flyability’s Elios 2 has been used for critical inspection work across several industries, saving companies millions in inspection costs and reduced downtimes, eliminating thousands of hours of dangerous confined space entry for inspectors. 

In appreciation of these achievements, this week Airwards announced that Flyability has been given the Survey and Inspection award.

CEO and co-founder of Flyability, Patrick Thévoz, said: “We are honoured to have the work we do to deploy drones instead of humans for dangerous indoor inspection jobs recognised by Airwards,

Since launching Flyability in 2014 we have dedicated ourselves to creating drones that can remove the need for humans to enter dangerous confined spaces in order to collect inspection data. This award means a lot to our team, and is an important sign that we are on the right track in that mission.”

VP of sales at Flyability Inc, Alexandre Meldem, said: “It has been a true team effort to develop the indoor drone technology we have today, and we are constantly working to improve that technology toward achieving our company’s mission of removing the need for humans to enter dangerous confined spaces.”
