It was recently announced that the state of Nevada will be home to the world's first airport for drones. The commercial droneport will be located in Boulder, with plans for completion 3 years from now.
The Eldorado Droneport by Aerodrome will be a dedicated drone airport. This addresses the issue of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) arriving into traditional airports and causing scheduling problems. It would also offer necessary pilots services as UAVs become increasingly popular. The ten acre airport for drones will be open to both drone hobbyists and commercial pilots.
The Eldorado Droneport was inspired by teaching hospitals and medical training models. Aerodrome already offers training facilities and will soon be able to add real flying time to their services.
