What We Do

Established in 2019, SkyGrid, a Boeing Company, exists to open the sky for autonomous flight. Based in Austin, Texas, SkyGrid builds high-assurance third-party services to enable the safe and efficient integration of operations into the global air transportation system and the National Airspace (NAS). SkyGrid also acts as a key operational nexus for Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), integrating and managing data, infrastructure, access, and traffic to support seamless and efficient air traffic services. The term AAM is utilized here as an umbrella term that includes both crewed (piloted) and uncrewed (remotely piloted) operations, independent of the mission type (e.g., inspection, land surveying, taxi, cargo, etc.). Uncrewed operations encompass Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), from medium to large platforms, or new electric-powered aircraft with Vertical Takeoff and Landing (VTOL).

Why Work With Us

SkyGrid’s mission is to enable safe, scalable airspace integration of emerging operations for Advanced Air Mobility.

We are developing a ground-based, third-party, aircraft agnostic traffic management platform that will be a key enabler of integrating AAM operations safely and reliably.
