Unifly NV and CorePeelers Pvt. Ltd., announced during Dubai Air SHow 2025 a strategic partnership to accelerate the deployment and localisation of advanced UTM solutions in India.
By combining Unifly’s globally proven UTM platform, operational across multiple countries and regulatory environments, with CorePeelers’ deep domain expertise in airspace digitalisation, program management, and integration services for government, defense, and airport sectors, the partners will jointly address India’s fast-evolving drone and advanced air mobility (AAM) landscape.
Together, Unifly and CorePeelers will explore opportunities for the deployment of UTM solutions aligned with India’s Digital Sky framework and support upcoming initiatives in AAM, drone corridor operations, and Smart City airspace integration.
Strategic Role in India’s Digital and Sovereign Airspace Vision
Under this partnership, CorePeelers will serve as Unifly’s strategic partner in India, engaging with government agencies, public sector undertakings (PSUs), defense establishments, and Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs) to localise, integrate, and operationalise Unifly’s UTM technology stack for the Indian market.
The collaboration is designed to support the ‘Aatmanirbhar Bharat’ mission by fostering technology transfer, local capability building, and the co-development of sovereign digital airspace infrastructure tailored to India’s regulatory and operational environment.
“Unifly’s mission has always been to safely integrate drones and urban air mobility into everyday airspace operations. India’s expanding drone ecosystem offers immense potential, and partnering with CorePeelers allows us to bring our proven technology to one of the world’s most dynamic aviation markets.” Andres Van Swalm, CEO and Co-Founder of Unifly.
“CorePeelers is proud to collaborate with Unifly to accelerate India’s journey toward a fully integrated, digitally managed low-altitude airspace. Together, we aim to build a secure, scalable, and regulation-ready UTM framework that empowers authorities, innovators, and end users alike.” Suryakantt Sharma, Director, CorePeelers.
Focus Areas of Collaboration
The partnership will initially focus on:
- Pilot deployments and demonstrations of joint UTM solutions for regulators, airport operators, and defense stakeholders.
- Integration of Unifly’s UTM platform with India’s Digital Sky ecosystem, surveillance networks, and airport operational systems.
- Supporting drone corridors for logistics, inspections, and emergency services within controlled and uncontrolled airspace.
- Collaboration in Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) domains, including eVTOL traffic management, airspace readiness assessments, and future urban air mobility implementations.
This partnership underscores the shared vision of both organisations to enable a safe, secure, and sustainable airspace ecosystem that supports India’s rapidly growing drone and air mobility sectors.
