Lufthansa signs deal with DJI in fledgling drone push

China Daily  

A camera-equipped "Inspire 1" unmanned aerial vehicle, or drone, of DJI Technology Co hovers during a test in Shanghai, China, Jan 10, 2015. Lufthansa has signed a deal with drone manufacturer DJI as part of fledging plans to exploit the growing market for commercial drones for tasks such as inspecting aircraft surfaces and monitoring wind farms. The German airline said it plans to offer those interested in using drones, or unmanned aerial vehicles, in this way a "one-stop UAV-shop" from aircraft operation to data analysis, insurance and even pilot training. Lufthansa said it had already carried out a pilot project with a wind turbine manufacturer to inspect wind turbine blades using drones, while sister company Lufthansa Technik has used drones to inspect the outer surfaces of aircraft for defects. EasyJet has also used drones to inspect its aircraft, while LAS has also teamed up with airport operator Fraport and German air traffic controllers to test the possibility of using drones to check runways.
