Highway in the sky

Drone Corridors and Air Taxi

The world's first licensed drone corridor, with rules established together with the Japanese government. Drones use it like a toll highway in the sky, and the same technology now designs air taxi routes for dense cities.

The world's first drone corridor license

Constella holds a drone corridor license under rules and regulations established with the Japanese government. Like a highway, every drone pays a toll to use the corridor.

The corridor is an outcome of the Digital Infrastructure Development Project for Industrial DX implemented by NEDO, and was featured on TV Tokyo's World Business Satellite.

Flight corridor design for air taxis

Trajectory is designing safe air taxi routes through busy city centers, modeling every building and structure in 4D so routes stay clear of obstacles and conflicting traffic.

In 2026 Trajectory is developing air taxi flight paths together with the Cabinet Office and Japan Airlines.
