How expeditions work

Build a dropzone in Ethiopia

Governments, resorts and entrepreneurs bring us in to launch skydiving where it doesn't exist yet. In Ethiopia we'd start with a site and airspace survey, then handle approvals, aircraft, gear, crew and training — and either run it for you or hand it over.
