Who We Are

 

Every few decades, a major inflection point in the world’s infrastructure progresses humanity forward: Vanderbilt and the railroads, Edison and the electrical grid, Eisenhower and the highways, and now, Airspace Link’s low-altitude digital infrastructure.

Our mission is to enable the safe integration of drones into the national airspace and communities at scale through digital infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and thought leadership.

Our Story

As a drone pilot and enthusiast himself, Michael Healander saw early on the challenges that the drone industry would face as it began slowly growing. Envisioning the positive impact that drones at scale could provide to economies and quality of life for people around the globe, Michael developed his concept of safe infrastructure to enable that progress.

What started as an idea was brought to life as the three co-founders put their heads together to create Airspace Link's AirHub® Platform: a low-altitude digital infrastructure designed to support the safe scaling of drones. The Airspace Link team is a family, both figuratively and literally. Michael and Daniel spent years working together on geospatial solutions prior to this collaboration, and Ana, who also happens to be married to Michael, brought her deep expertise in customer success and sales to support the product launch.
