We are Airbus UTM
Airbus UTM (Unmanned Traffic Management) is building digital air traffic management solutions to enable the next age of aviation. We design, develop, and build the critical infrastructure necessary to allow new aircraft, including air taxis and delivery drones, to safely enter and share the skies of our future.

Our Core Principles to UTM Deployment
Scalable
The ability to support UTM functions at scale: whether the various operations a UTM must provide can reasonably be built using this platform.
Safe
The platform must enable a UTM system that is sufficiently reliable and available for safe operation at scale, allowing holistic design of failure handling across the system.
Secure
The platform, as a core system component, is sufficiently secure for safe operation. High-assurance development, authorization, authentication and defense in depth must be supported.
Future-proof
The platform must support future vehicles, missions and systems. The world is changing rapidly and we must design a system which can support this.
Interoperable
Defining standards and regulatory frameworks that drive interoperability are critical to ensuring overall efficiency and safety of UTM deployments.
Work With a Leader
Airbus is a global leader in aerospace, defense and related services. Airbus UTM leverages decades of technological excellence and established relationships with the regulatory & industry organizations critical to deploying a comprehensive UTM framework.
Relevant ecosystem players can already engage with Airbus UTM through airspace design and analysis consultancy.
Helping evaluate safe practices, understand current airspace usage, analyze risk and propose new airspace structure.
