United Airlines Ventures has invested in the Danish UAS traffic management company Skypuzzler. In July 2025, Skypuzzler closed a seed funding round with the European Innovation Council Fund (EIC Fund) and Rethink Ventures, a leading German VC.
“By combining strategic (pre-departure) and tactical (during flight) deconfliction, Skypuzzler’s platform prevents conflicts before they arise while dynamically managing traffic in real time,” said the company in a press release. “This approach significantly enhances flight safety, increases airspace capacity, and reduces reliance on manual air traffic control. Its solution enables scalable Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations and allows drone operators to transition from one-pilot-one-drone to one-pilot-many-drones, unlocking the full operational and economic potential of the drone industry.
“Building on its experience in airspace management, Skypuzzler will be involved in a project with a prominent European space institution to extend its digital air traffic control capabilities to space. This milestone positions Skypuzzler at the forefront of developing critical infrastructure for managing the rapidly increasing number of satellites in orbit, ensuring safe, coordinated, and scalable space operations.
“These investments enable Skypuzzler to accelerate the deployment of its platform across aviation, drone, and space sectors, delivering a unified digital foundation for managing the complex airspace environments.”
