EGNOS-Enabled SAIL II Demonstrator in Palma: Bluenest by Globalvia Validates EU Concepts for Safe Medical Drone Logistics


Bluenest by Globalvia, EUREKA, and EGNOS combined: The Palma de Mallorca EUREKA Demo Day

In February 2026, Bluenest by Globalvia successfully performed a long-range UAS demonstrator flight to showcase Vertiport Collaborative Traffic Management (VCTM) within the European EUREKA project Solution 2, bringing together key stakeholders from across the Innovative Air Mobility (IAM) ecosystem. The demonstration consisted of over 33 km Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flight from Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA), which is the third in traffic flow in Spain, to Son Albertí (LEJF), a nearby aerodrome, using a RigiTech Eiger ER03 drone platform, taking 21 minutes to cover the full flight.

The event proved EUREKA Solution 2’s purpose of optimizing transport logistics with IAM and VCTM under real operational conditions. This time, such innovative collaboration sped up the transportation of medical samples, a kidney in this case, from Son Espases main hospital in the capital city to a remote region in Mallorca Island.
