Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our industry leading drone services below
Why is there no standard pricing for drone services?
We price every job individually, based on several factors, including location, airspace restrictions, and client deliverables. Not every job is the same. We strive to provide clients with options when they contact us, allowing them to determine what they need and what is nice to have. We are highly competitive with our drone service prices.

We operate in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. Although governed by a different aviation authority, we do operate in Northern Ireland. We specialise in high-density urban centres such as Dublin, Cork and Galway and are highly experienced in the challenges these environments bring.
