SkeyDrone and Airport Intelligence launch airport drone detection service

by | Jan 19, 2026 | Connectivity, Innovation

SkeyDrone and Airport Intelligence have launched a strategic collaboration to offer airports end-to-end drone detection, response, and mitigation services.

Drone sightings have become increasingly commonplace in recent years, forcing the closure of significant aviation hubs such as Berlin Brandenburg. The disruption caused by these closures results in significant costs for airlines and operational headaches for airport management.

Developers of advanced drone detection technology, SkeyDrone monitor and analyse drone activity around critical airspace. Their tailorable platform includes an active runway configuration to make sure threats are addressed and alerts are meaningful. Airport Intelligence brings extensive aviation expertise to the collaboration, ensuring safety and security while creating actionable plans to address disruption.

Both companies are based at Brussels Airport, providing the ideal platform for shared learning. Stijn De Vleeschhouwer, Managing Director at SkeyDrone, said:

We’re seeing a tremendous demand for our threat assessment solutions, which help customers evaluate risks effectively. While we provide the technology, many airports and ANSPs lack established processes to act on these insights. That’s why this partnership is so critical: technology is one part of the equation, but taking the right actions is equally, if not more, important.

Korijn Defever, General Manager at Airport Intelligence added:

Our strength lies in designing operational concepts that fit the complex reality of airport environments, not only in theory but especially in practice. Working with SkeyDrone allows us to connect those concepts directly to reliable, proven drone detection technology, offering airports a pragmatic and scalable solution.
