There was a company that made a "sky road" for drones and made a lot of money.

Securing "Sky Roads" for Delivery Companies

Among the rapidly growing drone business, the one that is attracting the most attention is ``Newspapers in villages in the mountains''. ,” a logistics business using drones. And it is Torbizuon Co., Ltd. that secures the sky road for drones to pass.

Logistics business using drones

Drone cannot be flown without the permission of the landowner because private land has "air rights" up to 300m above the ground. However, it is very difficult for the delivery company to obtain permission from all the land owners on the route each time.

Therefore, Torbizon is acting on behalf of obtaining permission for air rights.

Acquire permission for air rights on behalf of

Sky roads for drones Ken Watanabe returns after 1 year and 8 months, what is Kazuya Kojima's loving message?

In order to efficiently obtain permission, which is time-consuming, we cooperate with infrastructure operators such as electric power companies and railway companies. We are asking for cooperation as a "sky developer" to open up the sky from the people in the land division who have the know-how of pulling electric wires and railroads and visiting land owners one by one to create infrastructure. .

Managed by “Sky Address”

Torbizon manages sky roads by attaching something like a sky address called “Sky Domain”.

Land owners with air rights acquire sky domains from a dedicated site. This makes it easy to know which route to fly the drone and who to pay how much toll, and the procedure for obtaining a permit can be done smoothly. Landowners have also praised the project, saying, “Money will be generated from a space that has not been used before.”

Sky Domain

This Sky Domain was the decisive factor, and Torbizon acquired a business model patent for "a mechanism that allows people who want to fly drones over long distances to get permission easily."

Delivery companies can easily fly drones on a variety of routes by simply paying a fee to use the desired sky route.

Various routes to choose from

Tourbizon has been conducting flight tests on sky roads nationwide, and plans to create about 10,000 sky roads with a total length of about 30,000 kilometers by 2026 (*June 2021). at the time of broadcasting).

This new business was born from the fact that after the incident in which a drone fell on the prime minister's official residence, regulations were strengthened and it became impossible to fly drones freely. From 2022, deregulation will enable the business of transporting cargo using drones, and the market size is expected to reach approximately 1.5 trillion yen by 2030. Torbizuon has set a sales target of 15 billion yen and is working to create a road in the sky.
