© Schweizerische Rettungsflugwacht Rega Rega, Switzerland’s leading air rescue organisation , has chosen SafeSky to complement its flight situational awareness, particularly in the lower airspace, to further enhance the safety of its helicopter emergency medical services (HEMS). This collaboration focuses on the unique challenges of Switzerland’s densely populated airspace, home of a wide range of aircraft, including gliders, ultra-lights, paramotors and paragliders. What you need to know. Rega is operating SafeSky PRO App in 20 helicopters. Traditional air traffic systems often struggle to detect low-flying aircraft, particularly uncertified aviation, increasing the risk of mid-air collisions. SafeSky provides Rega pilots with traffic alerts from more than 30 sources, greatly improving the visibility of recreational and general aviation aircraft. Rega’s helicopter fleet is also visible to the SafeSky community, significantly improving overall traffic awareness for all SafeSky pilots. Rega is using the professional version of SafeSky, enabling simple fleet management with one single account, global fleet configuration and provisioning of backup devices. SafeSky's technology was chosen for its extensive air traffic covering various aircraft categories, enhancing safer operations for Rega pilots. Addressing the Challenges of Lower Airspace in Switzerlands Rega operates a fleet of helicopters and aircraft that provide critical emergency medical services across Switzerland. The country’s airspace is exceptionally busy, filled with gliders, paragliders, and various forms of recreational and general aviation. This high density of low-flying aircraft poses significant challenges for Rega’s pilots, who must maintain high situational awareness to safely navigate during urgent missions. To overcome these challenges, Rega has turned to SafeSky’s innovative e-Conspicuity technology to complement its existing traffic awareness equipments. SafeSky enhances real-time situational awareness by adding additional traffic sources, particularly from recreational and uncertified aviation, providing EMS pilots with a more complete view of surrounding air traffic and significantly improving their ability to visualise and navigate complex airspace safely.   Limitations of existing air traffic detection systems. Conventional air traffic services often face difficulties in reliably displaying low-altitude traffic, leading to increased risks of mid-air collisions. While systems like ADS-B and non-certified FLARM provide some level of traffic awareness, they can be limited by equipment compatibility and coverage gaps. Detecting aircraft flying below 1,000 feet AGL, especially in challenging mountainous regions, remains a significant hurdle. For Rega’s Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS), which frequently operate in these environments, such blind spots present critical safety concerns.   Fleet Management with SafeSky PRO To streamline deployment and ensure smooth SafeSky operations for its pilots, Rega relies on the professional version of SafeSky. SafeSky PRO enables seamless fleet management with a single administrator account, simplifying oversight and control. Its centralised management system guarantees that all pilots operate with consistent and up-to-date configurations, ensuring devices across the entire helicopter fleet are uniformly maintained. Additionally, Rega has over 100 iPads pre-installed and ready as hardware backups, ensuring redundancy and uninterrupted access to essential tools. This solution ensures that all devices are consistently provisioned and maintained, providing reliable access to SafeSky’s real-time traffic data to Rega's pilots. " SafeSky is proud to partner with Rega in their mission to enhance air safety and save lives. In emergency medical operations, every second counts, and flight safety is vital. This collaboration strengthens Rega’s situational awareness, helping crews operate more safely. We hope it sets an example for improved HEMS safety across Europe " Tristan Fily, CEO SafeSky For further inquiries or information, please contact Rega .

© ADAC Luftrettung In today’s increasingly crowded airspace, the traditional “see and avoid” principle is no longer sufficient, especially with the rise of drones and light aviation. ADAC Luftrettung, REGA, Air-Glacier, the Swedish Maritime Helicopter Unit, Airlift and many more have adopted SafeSky to enhance their crews’ situational awareness and safety. What you need to know. Traditional air traffic systems are not enough, and often struggle to detect low-flying aircraft, particularly uncertified aviation, increasing the risk of mid-air collisions for low flying helicopters. SafeSky aggregates real-time traffic data from over 30 sources (ADS-B, FLARM, ADS-L, Air Nagivation PRO, EasyVFR, Gaggle, etc.), offering pilots a comprehensive picture of surrounding air traffic. Complementary to traditional surveillance systems, SafeSky is showing more traffic, including general aviation, helicopters, gliders, ultra-light aircraft, paramotors, paragliders, trikes and even some drones. Participating helicopters are also visible to the SafeSky community, improving bi-directional situation awareness to 85 000 SafeSky App pilots. See And Avoid is not enough, especially in lower airspace For all pilots, the fundamental principle of "see and avoid" remains indispensable, even as it shows its limitations in an increasingly crowded airspace. With the constant rise in traffic, particularly due to the surge in drone operations and the rapid expansion of their professional applications, having a better overall picture has become a paramount necessity. In 2025 alone, a collision in Méribel (France) between an aircraft (piloted by a professional pilot and instructor) and a paraglider resulted in two fatalities. The accident in Washington claimed nearly 70 lives. Moreover, social media is flooded with videos of airmiss incidents, sometimes intentional, between drones and airplanes. Aware of this shortcoming, helicopter operators are striving to enhance their crews' situational awareness, whether for rescue helicopters or those dedicated to transport and surveillance in industrial areas. To support helicopter needs, Safesky has been developing a software platform capable of aggregating traffic data from multiple sources (ADS-B, Flarm, ADS-L, Air Navigation PRO, EasyVFR, Gaggle, and around thirty other protocols, software and hardware) in real time, providing position of all these flying aircraft. This information helps reduce the risk of collisions and improves the quality of post-mission debriefings. Recently, EASA recorded approximately 200 airmiss incidents across Europe in 2023, while Safesky detected over 200 in just two months in the Netherlands, illustrating the growing importance of e-Conspicuity (the ability to see and be seen electronically).   How Major Helicopter fleet Integrate with SafeSky ? Recognising the critical importance of e-Conspicuity, major helicopter fleet companies such as ADAC Luftrettung, REGA, Air-Glacier, the Swedish Maritime Helicopter Unit, Airlift  have turned to Safesky to enhance flight safety. These renowned operators have adopted different integration approaches: ADAC   Luftrettung in Germany has directly integrated Safesky’s data stream into its in-house navigation software . REGA  in Switzerlands has opted for the SafeSky PRO version , enabling centralised management of around 100 iPads  used by about 20 helicopters  and their ground teams. The Maritime Helicoper Unit in Sweden has also opted for the SafeSky PRO to operate 7 AW139 rescue helicopters Air-Glacier and Airlift employs the SafeSky data stream directly integrated into Air Navigation Pro navigation software SafeSky App in smart radar mode In addition to the SafeSky App , SafeSky is also compatible with major navigation software, such as SkyDemon, ForeFlight, EasyVFR, Air Navigation Pro and many more. This enables the display of all surrounding traffic directly on its map. It functions similarly to TCAS, but with an increased number of flying objects and without interfering with piloting decisions, which remain the sole responsibility of the pilot. The focus is on enhancing situational awareness, not collision avoidance. SafeSky traffic layer in EasyVFR Did you say Drone integration? SafeSky also integrates more and more drone operators who recognise the critical importance of being both see and be seen by manned aviation. By integrating with SafeSky’s ecosystem , operators such as Aviant , the Norwegian Police , Naviation , HemsWX , DroneMatrix , Rovensen and many more are seamlessly sharing real-time telemetry data, enhancing situational awareness and reducing collision risks between manned and unmanned aircraft. A recent groundbreaking collaboration with SkeyDrone in Belgium has even incorporated non-cooperative drone traffic into SafeSky’s platform. This advancement significantly enhances situational awareness for helicopter pilots operating in complex environments. Non-cooperative drones in Belgium in Blue To a Safer Sky for Helicopter Fleets In an era where the airspace is more complex than ever, helicopter operators can no longer rely solely on See And Avoir and traditional traffic awareness tools. SafeSky offers a modern and flexible solution designed specifically to meet the operational realities of low-altitude traffic, characterised by a diversity of uncertified aircraft. Whether through seamless integration with cockpit navigation systems or robust fleet-wide management via SafeSky PRO , helicopter fleets gain enhanced real-time traffic visibility complementary to their existing traditional onboard surveillance systems. By integrating with the SafeSky ecosystem, your helicopter fleet becomes visible to new airspace users: drones and other manned aircraft. This provides a dual safety benefit and significantly enhances conspicuity for all airspace users in the vicinity.
