We have decided to exit UAE, due to certain GCAA regulatory issues!
The UAE aviation regulatory authority GCAA (General Civil Aviation Authority), during a teleconferencing in June 2025, informed us that there is no regulatory framework in place in the UAE, for drone class above 25 kg takeoff weight. Even our initial drone models will be more than 25 kg takeoff weight, and the current regulatory framework prevents us from doing any business within the UAE, including Research & Development (R&D).
GCAA informed us that they have plans to include 25 kg + class in the future, but not immediately. Further, they allow only FAA and EASA Type Certified drones to operate within the UAE. Hence we have decided to exit UAE and move to a country (not finalized yet) where there is a regulation for 25 kg + drone category is already in place. Further, such country will be accessible to type certification from EASA (or FAA).
After R&D and type certification we will re-enter the middle-east market. Currently, we have started the liquidation procedures at the SRTIP.
Stay tuned for further updates.....
