\u201cSkyway gives us not just the opportunity to \u2018level up\u2019 access to green transportation across Britain, but we can benefit first and export it globally. We are therefore thrilled to be flying the flag on the global stage for UK Plc.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nImpact on rural areas<\/h2>\n
Stephen Farmer, head of corporate communications at Altitude Angel said:<\/p>\n
\u201cWhilst the route of the superhighway has not been finalised, we will utilise as much of the ground-based infrastructure, such as roads and masts, to minimise disruption to both humans and wildlife along the route.<\/p>\n
Where the route does traverse countryside, we will be working with land owners and managers who are best placed to advise on the superhighway\u2019s location to minimise any impact on wildlife. The benefit of operating drones on the environment is wholly positive, taking traffic off the roads and allowing goods to be transported by airframes powered by renewable energy.\u201d<\/p>
