Drone fleet management and uncrewed traffic management (UTM) specialist High Lander has launched a new subsidiary headquartered in Singapore.
High Lander APAC will serve clients in Singapore and other key markets in the APAC region including Thailand and Vietnam, with operations driven by a planned initial team of ten employees in 2025. Building on the company’s existing client base in Singapore, High Lander APAC will support businesses and public authorities to manage and expand their aerial operations, and provide advanced airspace management infrastructure in a region that’s moving to implement advanced air mobility (AAM) networks.
Alon Abelson, CEO and founder of High Lander, said Singapore was chosen as the company’s APAC base because it is a regional leader in drone technology and is rich with commercial opportunities. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) is moving to implement UTM infrastructure, recently ruling that drones must be equipped with Remote ID by the end of 2025 and signing an agreement with the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau to develop joint AAM regulations. In February, CAAS announced new measures to expand drone use.
High Lander APAC will market, retail, operate and provide technical support for Orion DFM – a mission creation platform and command centre for professional drone operations, and Vega UTM – an airspace management system that gives airspace authorities control of crowded skies and enables crewed and uncrewed aircraft harmony.
High Lander APAC is High Lander’s third international expansion, following the opening of its regional office in Abu Dhabi and launch of its Brazilian subsidiary, BIRDS, in São Paulo. A European subsidiary is planned for Q2 2025.
