Athletics Drone Maker FlyRoute Launches Service Partnership Program

The program is FlyRoute’s way of empowering entrepreneurs to launch their own drone business. 

FlyRoute, a drone service provider specialising in athletics, has recently launched its Service Partner Program. This program is designed to foster entrepreneurship by enabling individuals to own and operate a FlyRoute service territory, marking the company’s strategic move towards national expansion.

Collin Caffrey, the founder and president of FlyRoute, shared his excitement about the new program. He emphasised the goal of equipping motivated business leaders with the necessary tools and support to fast-track their success in the drone business. Reflecting on his own journey, Caffrey noted the growth from purchasing his first drone in 2017 to now managing a fleet of over 45 drones. He underscored FlyRoute’s significant role in supporting more than 550 sporting events annually and providing a stable revenue source.

The Service Partner Program is FlyRoute’s way of empowering entrepreneurs to launch their own drone business. Caffrey’s vision for the program is to collaborate with hard working entrepreneurs dedicated to implementing best practices in establishing and scaling a successful drone business. The application period for this program began on January 3rd, 2024, and is set to conclude on March 1st, 2024.
