DroneTalks | Over 6,000 BVLOS flights: How NUAIR’s operational corridor is enabling scalable drone integration 

Podcasts

6,000+ ⁠#BVLOS⁠ flights. 50 miles of FAA-designated ⁠#UAS⁠ corridor. A 450-square-mile digital ⁠#airspace⁠ ecosystem.

At Syracuse Airport, NUAIR proves that manned and unmanned aircraft can co-exist safely in one of the most complex airspaces in the US:

“If someone’s operating without remote ID in a critical area such as the terminal area of the airport, we can see their location, the hand controller and the drone — and tell local authorities that something needs to be done about it,” said John Gustafson, Director of Product Development and Technology at NUAIR.

NUAIR isn’t just visualising airspace; they’re enforcing it. With radar-powered ⁠#surveillance⁠, passive RF detection, and a fully cloud-based interface; they’re making scalable, safe BVLOS ⁠#drone⁠ operations a reality in the US today.

At CANSO's Airspace World 2025 in Lisbon, our Co-founder and CEO Eszter Kovács interviewed NUAIR's John Gustafson to explore how their FAA-approved infrastructure is redefining drone ⁠#commercialisation⁠ in New York State and beyond.

Listen the full interview to learn how NUAIR is powering medical deliveries, military testing, and impactful ⁠#UTM⁠ services through a real-world drone corridor.
