One port. Many drones. Any operator.
Leti is building a network of shared drone ports. Drones from any operator land on one deck, charge, park and fly on. Operators pay per use instead of buying their own dock.
01 / Problem
A dock holds one drone
Drone-in-a-box docks serve one aircraft, usually of one brand. A fleet needs a row of them, and each operator buys its own.
Drones fly back to base to recharge
Battery is spent on the way home instead of on the job.
Crews drive out to swap batteries
Every swap means a van and a crew on the road.
02 / What Leti does
- A / THE PORT
One deck for a whole fleet
One sealed deck instead of a row of single-drone boxes, shared by every operator at the site.
- B / THE FOOT PLATE
One fitting for every brand
A small plate with a magnet and a charging coil, fitted under each drone. With it, any brand can lock on and charge at any Leti port.
- C / THE NETWORK
Sites ready for approval
We find the sites, install the ports and prepare a site pack for each one: the surveyed site plus the ground and air risk evidence operators need for their approval.
03 / How a port works
- 01
Land anywhere
The port gives the drone a free spot on the open deck. No pad to queue for.
- 02
Picked up
A carrier under the deck locks onto the drone's foot plate through the surface.
- 03
Charged in a bay
The carrier moves the drone to a charging bay on one side. A coil in the deck charges it wirelessly.
- 04
Launch anywhere
When the job is ready, the drone is moved to a clear spot and takes off.
04 / Port sizes
A deck that fits the site.
ROOFTOP PORT
A few drones on a flat roof
DEPOT PORT
A shared deck at a depot or yard
HUB PORT
A large deck or hangar for fleets
Planned sizes, drawn to the same scale. Orange squares are charging bays, crosses are drones. A port grows by adding bays and deck tiles; final size depends on the site.
05 / The network
06 / Who it's for
07 / Why now
The rules are catching up.
UK rules now allow remote drone flights from docks. In September 2026 the CAA added a route to approve the same operation across several sites, which suits a network of matching ports.
