SkyLedger Roadmap

From operational foundation to global network.
Building the infrastructure for the future of drone performance.

2017

Operational Foundation

The underlying performance drone operation base began building large-scale aerial show capabilities and long-term experience in live drone performance delivery. This stage established the operational roots of what would later become the real-world foundation for the SkyLedger network.

2020

Scaled Execution

The operating base reached a new level of scale and execution maturity, demonstrating the ability to deliver longer-form drone animation and more complex aerial storytelling at scale.

2021

Safety and Operational Standards

The operational system advanced further through large-scale synchronized flight capability and the publication of an industry safety operation standard, strengthening the reliability required for repeatable, high-density drone performances.

2023

International Expansion

The operational footprint expanded into international markets, including debut performances in Dubai and expansion into Vietnam and Hong Kong. This phase marked the transition from regional operations toward a broader international drone performance network.

2024

Recurring Market Presence

The network entered additional markets such as Thailand and established regular drone performance activity in Hong Kong, while also forming strategic partnerships across multiple regions. This stage demonstrated the move from one-off shows to recurring regional operations.

2025

Global Operating Scale

Operations expanded further across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Japan. During this stage, the next-generation C5 drone system was released, and the overall operating network reached more than 400 cities worldwide.
