Last week, senior managers of AALTO, a subsidiary of European aerospace company Airbus, pitched camp in Kenya to make a case for regulatory approvals to set up an operating base for the unit’s high-altitude drones.
AALTO has been developing the platform, which is known as Zephyr High Altitude Platform Station (Zephyr HAPS), for the past 20 years and is looking to use the Kenya base for further test flights next year ahead of a commercial launch.
