Suntuity AirWorks, the drone and UAV services division of the Suntuity Group of companies, launched a drone equipment leasing program to help the private and public sectors update their services with drone technology.

The Suntuity AirWorks leasing program was created to offset the initial financial burden of purchasing UAVs, which has kept some cities and businesses from fully incorporating drone services into their existing processes.

The Suntuity AirWorks leasing program provides a variety of UAVs, an on-site flight and equipment maintenance training platform and a drone replacement service. The leasing program also offers customers the option to trade in aging UAVs in order to upgrade leases to the newest drones.

“Technological obsolescence is a real concern for new drone owners,” Gordon Dowrey, director of operations for Suntuity AirWorks, said. “With more advanced drones launching on an annual basis, many UAV pilots are forced to buy new drones in order to keep up with the service capabilities of the latest technology. Through this new leasing program, lessees will be able to build their drone fleets without fear of an expensive purchase becoming outdated down the line.”
