  • Manna was part of a funded UK shared-airspace drone operations initiative in Lancashire supported by the UK CAA Airspace Modernisation Support Fund.
  • The program focused on validating how multiple drone operators can safely share live airspace, making it a regulatory and operational milestone rather than a pure commercial launch.
  • The event is relevant to Manna as a real-world step toward scaled BVLOS drone operations in more complex shared-airspace environments.
