drone operations support

Import & Registration

Drone import, permit and KCAA registration support — so the aircraft you bought can actually fly.

Get the drone into service legally

A drone landing at JKIA without the right paperwork is a long story. We help shorten it. Permits, registration steps and supporting documentation — handled before customs becomes a conversation.

Most of the trouble we see comes from buying first and asking the regulator second. Bring us in early and the path from order to first commercial flight is shorter and less expensive.

Commercial drones and accessories for import and registration support

How we help

Support can start before purchase or after the equipment is already in your hands.

Pre-import guidance

Whether the platform, payload and accessories actually fit the work — and Kenyan operating rules.

Permit documentation support

Help preparing the information needed for the import permit and supporting submissions.

Registration support

Walking the UAV registration through so the equipment is identified and on file properly.

Operational readiness advice

Connecting the aircraft to pilot capability, payload, maintenance and compliant operations.

Order to operations

Designed to surface paperwork and suitability problems before they become expensive.

  1. 01

    Equipment and use-case review

    We look at the intended drone, payload, supplier and use before any import or registration step starts.

  2. 02

    Documentation preparation

    The forms, details and supporting information are organised together, not scrambled at submission.

  3. 03

    Submission support

    We move the application through the regulatory channels and respond to follow-ups.

  4. 04

    Operational next steps

    Once the equipment is cleared, we hand it on to training, pilot hire, rentals or ROC support — whatever the project needs next.

Who comes to us

Buyers who'd rather not learn the KCAA process the hard way.

New commercial drone teams

Companies buying their first UAV for mapping, inspection, agriculture or media.

Specialist payload buyers

Teams importing LiDAR, thermal or mapping payloads where compatibility matters.

Organisations scaling fleets

Adding aircraft and accessories without losing track of compliance.

Less time stuck at customs

We've moved enough drones through this pipeline to know where it gets stuck. The shortest route to flying legally is usually the one that started in the right order.
