Zaero Logic
Operations • Network • Customer Experience
Mandate
Zaero Logic is Zaeronautics' commercial engine. We plan, price, and run the end-to-end logistics network built on the Zaero Platform (Zaero-A aircraft + Zaero-L launch + Zaero-R recovery).
Our job is simple: turn clean flight into predictable service levels, transparent invoices, and profitable corridors.
Current Phase & Partnerships
Zaero Logic is currently entering the pre-operational validation phase for our first unmanned logistics corridors in Senegal.
These routes will open in staged segments under regulated BVLOS oversight through certified partners.
During this phase, Zaeronautics is evaluating select third-party eVTOL cargo platforms to conduct structured test flights, performance validation, and joint demonstration missions ahead of full-scale deployment.
- →OEM partners to gather high-value operational data
- →Regulators to observe controlled test flights
- →Zaero Logic to validate corridor design, pricing models, and turnaround processes
- →A fast path to generating national-level operational readiness
As Zaero-A matures through NZD's R&D pipeline, Zaero Logic works with established aircraft manufacturers to accelerate corridor activation and ensure early operational reliability.
What We Operate
Fixed-wing electric UAVs, air-cushion launch, and wind-tunnel recovery — engineered for fast turnarounds and repeatability.
Autonomous cruise, automated decel/dock, unload, battery swap, reload, re-launch. Designed for 6+ sorties per aircraft per day.
≤20 min ground time target with ≥95% mission reliability across all operational corridors.
Services & SLAs
We publish corridor-specific SLAs informed by the system envelope and turnaround constraints:
Standard delivery within 48 hours. Base pricing applies.
Priority delivery within 24 hours. Multiplier applies.
Express delivery within 6 hours. Premium multiplier applies.
Service tiers sit on top of the base parcel price so enterprise buyers can choose speed vs. cost with clarity.
Pricing That Rewards Efficiency
Zaero Logic administers a transparent, four-layer model that shows up on every invoice:
T1/T2/T3 corridors with published per-gram rates and their own "offset ledgers."
A1–G bands for letters through bulk cargo with progressive pricing.
Progressive multiplier that reduces per-parcel price as batch size grows.
Yesterday's CO₂ savings lower today's per-10g price by a route-specific value.
The model builds demand (micro-senders see large % discounts), protects margins on heavier freight, and scales cleanly across corridors as ledgers update. We publish worked examples and show the discount line item on invoices so customers actually see the CO₂ dividend applied.
Corridor Playbook
Each corridor gets a repeatable setup process to ensure operational excellence:
Publish the corridor tier, expected average payload per flight, and daily flight plan within the aircraft's envelope to hit ≥6 legs/day with ≤20 min ground time.
Zaero-L launch acceleration and Zaero-R controlled-flow capture are tuned to corridor winds and dust profiles before opening to customers.
We won't go public on a corridor until the capture/turn cycle is repeatable and documented with acceptance testing and reliability thresholds met.
Day-to-Day Operations
Plan 6+ legs per aircraft per day; balance energy windows and battery swap to preserve the ≤20 min turnaround KPI.
Unload, swap, reload, relaunch — standardized in the ops checklist tied to L/R PLCs and base station mission manager.
Mission reliability (≥95%) and downtime (<5% in first 100 hrs) are tracked live; any off-nominal events trigger root-cause and corrective action.
Line/intermediate/depot maintenance with intervals by subsystem (A/L/R) so we schedule around customer windows, not the other way around.
Customer Experience
Booking & Batching
We encourage batching to unlock bracket multipliers; SMEs can pool parcels by cut-off windows per corridor.
Transparent Invoices
Base cost, offset discount (per 10g by band), and any service multiplier are itemized on every invoice.
Route-Level CO₂ Dividends
Every route maintains its own offset ledger; we communicate the current per-10g discount by corridor so customers can plan.
Quality, Compliance & ESG
ISO 9001, DO-178C/DO-254 software/hardware assurance, ICAO UAS Class 1 where applicable.
ISO 14001 principles carried into end-of-life practices (battery recovery, recyclable packaging/spares) and supplier guidance.
Data → Improvement Loop
Zaero Logic closes the loop between field performance and pricing:
Better energy performance raises a corridor's offset ledger, which automatically reduces next-day prices on that route.
Achieved turnaround and capture metrics feed SLA targets and staffing for the following week.
We expand from a single flagship corridor to a national mesh by replicating the corridor playbook and its ledgers.
As each new route stabilizes, the network behaves like a single organism: more flights → better offsets → stronger price elasticity → higher load factors — without sacrificing margin.
This is exactly how the tier/bracket/offset economics were designed to compound.
Partner With Us
Operational Corridors • Field Validation • Joint Demonstration
Zaeronautics is entering the pre-operational phase of its national unmanned logistics network. As we activate our first BVLOS-regulated corridors in Senegal, we are opening a limited window for strategic aircraft partners to validate their platforms in real-world conditions.
We invite UAV, eVTOL, and autonomous systems manufacturers to collaborate with us in a structured environment that delivers field data, safe deployment conditions, and direct access to an emerging regional market.
Why Partner With Zaeronautics
Our value lies not in competing with OEMs, but in enabling them.
We operate controlled test and operational routes under certified BVLOS oversight. These corridors offer:
- •predictable winds
- •measurable density altitudes
- •mixed terrain profiles
- •representative African environmental conditions
Ideal for platform validation and envelope testing.
Through our BVLOS partners and ongoing government engagement, we provide:
- •airspace access
- •corridor-specific safety cases
- •structured reporting
- •a clear path to controlled flight operations
OEMs retain aircraft IP; we manage the environment.
Zaeronautics supplies:
- •launch/recovery sites
- •battery management
- •ground crews
- •maintenance support
- •telemetry capture
- •mission supervision
You focus on the aircraft — we run the corridor.
All missions produce:
- •performance datasets
- •energy and endurance signatures
- •landing/approach telemetry
- •environmental impact profiles
These insights feed directly into your engineering or certification roadmap.
OEMs gain:
- →a demonstration corridor
- →visibility with government stakeholders
- →live case-studies for Africa and developing regions
- →zero local hiring or infrastructure burden
Zaeronautics becomes your operational arm for the region.
What We Look For
We partner with companies whose platforms demonstrate:
- →emphasis on safety & reliability
- →readiness for structured test flights
- →strong energy efficiency
- →value in medical or priority logistics
Our corridors are aircraft-agnostic — we integrate platforms that advance national capability.
Next Steps
OEMs interested in deploying their aircraft within our test corridors may contact the Zaero Logic integration desk.
