The FAA estimates that by 2020, there could be approx. 30,000 drones operating in US domestic airspace alone. Sites dedicated to US national security and defence have estimated that every country in the world will have military drone technology within the next 10 years.
The rise of drones is not an isolated or temporary event; the cyber battlefront is quickly becoming one of the most active in international conflicts. “Information warfare,” a term generally including both drones and cyber warfare, is giving rise to the

Lelystad Airport (IATA: LEY, ICAO: EHLE) is the biggest general aviation airport in The Netherlands. An approved expansion of the airport has started in 2012 with a runway extension up to 1.600m which is sufficient for mid size aircraft for maintenance visits (MRO). Phase two will allow budget airlines and holiday charters, using aircraft such as the B 737 and the A 320 series, to operate from Lelystad. The expansion will include a longer runway of 2.100 m (6900 ft).
Xegasus is a co-founding minority shareholder of Catalina Hangar BV, a private initiative. We have built in 2010 the first commercial large size hangar capacity at Lelystad Airport, able to accommodate 737’s and A320’s or similar aircraft.
