Broader Context
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 108 rule transforms commercial drone operations by moving from exception-based waivers to routine, scalable commercial beyond-visual-line-of-sight operations. The regulation creates operational tiers, with a category covering routine commercial package delivery at scale. Federal agencies and Congress have implemented unprecedented drone security measures through new regulations, enforcement actions, and historic funding initiatives as of mid-2026. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) described its Public Notice as the "next major step" in promoting U.S. drone leadership by "cutting red tape, modernizing obsolete regulations, and securing a domestic drone supply chain."
The Bottom Line
Skyways is engaging with a team whose members have lobbied on aviation, aircraft, airlines, and defense issues.
