What People Are Saying
"Our goal is to maintain a leadership position in the integration of Uncrewed Aerial Systems (UAS), Advanced Air Mobility (AAM), and other emerging technologies into the commercial service airport environment. Closely partnering with NUAIR - a clear leader in commercialization of UAS, AAM, and other technologies - allows us to achieve that goal while enhancing the prosperity and connectivity of the region we serve."
Jason Terreri
Executive Director | Syracuse Regional Airport Authority
"Our young people should be really excited about what we have going on here. As we’re talking about engineering and Micron and where people can go, NUAIR is here right now. [They’re] right here. Right now. We want young people to be able to see that this is the future."
Pam Hunter
Assemblymember | New York State
“The depth of knowledge that this cluster of folks in upstate NY have regarding DAA/Radar/UTM infrastructure is likely second to none. You aren’t seeing the ‘crazy sexy’ tech here - you’re seeing real world applicable technology that makes sense for those who understand the industry.”
Bobby Sakaki
Founder | Untethered & UAS Nexus
"Working with NUAIR has been instrumental in GENIUS NY’s mission to support and scale high-potential UAS startups. Their deep expertise, dedication to industry standards, and mentorship have helped our companies move faster and innovate more effectively. NUAIR not only strengthens our accelerator but also enhances the entire UAS ecosystem in Central New York, making it a hub of opportunity for startups from around the world."
Kara Jones

"NUAIR has been a partner of AVSS since 2019. Their knowledge of international drone standards and testing validation was critical in our decision to partner with them. NUAIR is more than a third-party, they are a strategic partner for our drone safety products."
Josh Ogden
CEO & Co-Founder | AVSS
“I want to thank NUAIR again for the help - we are up and running with 13 pilots and 2 drones and the Town Board and Chief impressed and supporting our program. Every vendor I deal with is impressed with the speed we got up and running. I owe a large part of that to NUAIR.”
James Hansen
Lieutenant | Town of Haverstraw PD
“As a leader in simulation and voice recognition technologies for the aviation industry, UFA is a proud member of the NUAIR Alliance. We fully support NUAIR's work to define the future of aviation by integrating UAS and AAM into daily airport operations."
David Wolff
