Dave Bush, Dronecloud, Director, added: “Partnering with Altitude Angel is a natural step for us. The team at Altitude Angel shares the same entrepreneurial values backed up with a track record of real innovation and an ambitious vision for the future of the industry. We want our customers to be as well informed as possible and by integrating Altitude Angel data into our compliance workflow we know they will be getting the best possible data in the air and on the ground.
