Flying in Thionville: the local context

Moselle's second city, Thionville lives to the rhythm of neighbouring Luxembourg: tens of thousands of cross-border workers transit daily via the A31 and the station. The belfry, the Tour aux Puces and the Moselle quays form the historic core, while the Uckange blast furnace (the listed U4) and the Fensch valley's steel heritage tell the iron saga. Two major airspace constraints: the prohibited zone of the Cattenom nuclear power plant, less than 10 km north-east, and the Luxembourg border — flying on the grand-ducal side means switching to Luxembourg's drone regulations.

The local economy combines cross-border services, multimodal logistics (Thionville-Illange port, Europort), residual steelmaking and brownfield regeneration. Drone missions: monitoring of logistics and housing projects in a border-pressured property market, structure inspection on the Moselle, industrial heritage, thermography.
