Certiflight completes its validation phase and prepares for its market launch

April 2, 2025

The European Certiflight project is moving towards the final phase of its first development stage. In this context, the partners have held the Qualification Review Meeting, a key meeting to analyse the progress achieved and discuss the conclusions of the validation and demonstration activities carried out in recent months and presented at the last meeting of the Advisory Board. This is the seventh internal meeting of the project and was held remotely.

One of the main milestones of the meeting was the confirmation that the Certiflight solution is ready for commercial exploitation. Following a rigorous validation process in late 2024 and early 2025, the feasibility of the technology has been demonstrated in different scenarios and use cases across Europe. These tests have identified both its strengths and areas for improvement, ensuring that the technology meets the necessary requirements for adoption.

In addition to technical validation, the meeting also addressed key aspects of communication and dissemination, fundamental for positioning Certiflight among potential customers. In this sense, it was highlighted the recent celebration of the third Advisory Board, which took place at the National Institute for Aerospace Research 'Elie Carafoli' (INCAS) in Bucharest, Romania. This event brought together 44 representatives from 22 companies from different fields, such as drone operators, business consulting agencies and GIS software developers, providing valuable feedback for the evolution of the project.

Another focus of the meeting was the analysis of the Business Plan and the market entry strategy, with special attention to user needs. Finally, progress on standardization, a crucial aspect in the aviation sector, was reviewed. The goal is to maximize the adoption and recognition of the contributions of Certiflight within the industry, facilitating its integration into the current ecosystem.

In conclusion, the Qualification Review Meeting has been highly productive in consolidating the final details of the project in its final stretch. With the technology ready for implementation and a defined strategy for its positioning in the market, Certiflight is approaching the materialization of its innovative proposal in digital aviation.
