Oro Navigacija presents Lithuanian UTM system ahead of implementation

Oro Navigacija (ON), a certified European Air Navigation Service Provider that provides services to aircraft flying in Lithuanian airspace, has presented its U-space traffic management project to the country’s Ministry of Transport and Communications. Minister Marius Skuodis and other ministry representatives observed a drone flight and learned how it was managed using the new system.

“Once we implement the system fully, drone traffic management will be significantly streamlined, and stakeholders will receive information faster,” said Saulius Batavičius, CEO of ON. “This will reduce risks for residents, institutions, and businesses and ensure smoother operations.” 

Both drone pilots and residents will soon be able to connect to the U-space system via a mobile app, which will offer flight approval, traffic information, and other services.

In June, ON invested EUR2.5 million into systems designed to enable drone pilots to use the airspace in a simplified manner via a contract with Austrian company Frequentis.
