First two demos in the Gulf of Finland (GOF) U-space project mark a leap forward in the implementation of unmanned traffic management (UTM) in Europe.

For the first time general aviation, drones, and recreational model aircraft safely shared the airspace above and around an operational airfield. This took place at the East Helsinki Aerodrome in Pyhtää, Finland, on 11 June.
