ADLC reaches major milestone with LUC certification for BVLOS cargo drone operations

ADLC, a DronePort resident company and leading Belgian drone logistics operator, has reached a major milestone by obtaining a Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC) for the transport of goods, including dangerous goods, with cargo drones.

Enabling self authorised BVLOS operations

This achievement places ADLC among a highly select group of advanced drone operators in Europe capable of enabling self authorised Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone operations. The certification marks an important step forward in the further development of scalable, safe and efficient drone logistics solutions for high value and sensitive cargo.

“This certification is a crucial step forward for ADLC and enables us to authorise complex drone operations ourselves, including the development and deployment of new air routes and corridors. It significantly accelerates our mission to build scalable, safe and efficient drone logistics solutions for valuable and sensitive cargo,” said Rayan Quintaes, Co Founder and CEO of ADLC.

Official handover at XPONENTIAL Europe

The official handover of the LUC certificate took place during the XPONENTIAL Europe Drone Conference in Düsseldorf, where it was presented by Patricia Van Acker, Head of Unmanned Aircraft Systems at the Belgian Federal Public Service Mobility and Transport. “This moment marks not only a milestone for ADLC, but also an important step forward for Belgium’s position within the European drone ecosystem,” Van Acker stated.

Strong partner support throughout the process

ADLC underlined that this achievement was made possible through strong collaboration and support from key partners. The company expressed its sincere gratitude to Unifly Consulting for its expertise, guidance and dedication throughout the certification process.

With this milestone, ADLC further strengthens its position as a frontrunner in advanced drone logistics and helps set new standards in operational excellence and regulatory trust, both in Belgium and across Europe.

DronePort as operational base

As a resident company at DronePort, ADLC benefits from a unique operational base for the maintenance, testing and further development of its drone systems. DronePort provides an ideal environment for innovative drone companies to validate new technologies and prepare operations in a professional aviation setting, supporting ADLC in the continued growth of its cargo drone activities.
