One port. Many drones. Any operator.
Leti is building a network of shared drone ports, starting with three in Dubai Silicon Oasis. Drones from any operator land on one deck, charge, park and fly on. Operators pay per use instead of buying their own dock.
01 / Problem
A dock holds one drone
Drone-in-a-box docks serve one aircraft, usually of one brand. A fleet needs a row of them, and each operator buys its own.
Drones fly back to base to recharge
Battery is spent on the way home instead of on the job.
Crews drive out to every job
Every inspection means a van, a crew and setup on site.
02 / What Leti does
- A / THE PORT
One deck for a whole fleet
One sealed deck instead of a row of single-drone boxes, shared by every operator at the site.
- B / THE FOOT PLATE
One fitting for every brand
A small plate with a magnet and a charging coil, fitted under each drone. With it, any brand can lock on and charge at any Leti port.
- C / THE NETWORK
Sites ready for approval
We find the sites, get each port its DCAA permits and prepare a site pack: the surveyed site plus the ground and air risk evidence operators need for their approval.
03 / How a port works
- 01
Land anywhere
The port gives the drone a free spot on the open deck. No pad to queue for.
- 02
Picked up
A carrier under the deck locks onto the drone's foot plate through the surface.
- 03
Charged in a bay
The carrier moves the drone to a charging bay on one side. A coil in the deck charges it wirelessly.
- 04
Launch anywhere
When the job is ready, the drone is moved to a clear spot and takes off.
04 / Port sizes
A deck that fits the site.
ROOFTOP PORT
A few drones on a flat roof
DEPOT PORT
A shared deck at a free-zone or logistics yard
HUB PORT
A hub for delivery fleets
Planned sizes, drawn to the same scale. Orange squares are charging bays, crosses are drones. A port grows by adding bays and deck tiles; final size depends on the site.

06 / Who it's for
07 / Why now
The rules are in place.
Dubai licensed its first drone delivery service in December 2024. Its drone rules, DCAR-UAS Issue 03 (2025), set out how flights beyond the pilot’s sight are approved, using SORA 2.5. A ready site pack at every port fits straight into that process. We handle the DCAA permits each port needs.
