Kyoritsu Air Survey Co., Ltd.

Over the nearly 50 years since Kyoritsu Air Survey was founded in 1972 as an aircraft operator serving aerial survey companies, we have recorded changes and transformations to the surface of the earth from the perspective of the sky in every corner of Japan and at locations overseas.

With our head office located in Chofu Airport, Tokyo, we have personnel, aircraft, hangers, photography equipment, and other key equipment deployed all around Japan. This includes: Okadama Airport (Sapporo, Hokkaido Prefecture), Sendai Airport (Iwanuma, Miyagi Prefecture), Nagoya Airport (Nishikasugai, Aichi Prefecture), Yao Airport (Yao, Osaka Prefecture), and Kitakyushu Airport (Kitakyushu, Fukuoka Prefecture). By now, we have grown to possess the largest fleet of survey aircraft and a greater variety and number of sensors for aircraft in operation than any aerial survey company in Japan; and this is all because of our stakeholders who have supported us over the years.

Kyoritsu Air Survey has been doing air surveys of land throughout Japan for a half-century. The changes in society and the natural environment as well as the change in the attitude of people that these changes have brought about have been profound. Especially notable in this regard in recent years is how we now depend on society to provide an increasingly diverse range of needs to support our daily lives and how natural disasters that were once rare are becoming commonplace and more and more severe. In recent years, to deal with diversified people lives' needs required of the society and the increasing severe natural disasters that occur "frequently" rather than "rarely" , we are expecting that the Japan SDG model will be progressing at an accelerated pace as the top priority to complete in 2030.

There are new problems for which society needs solutions, and therefore we at Kyoritsu Air Survey will both continue to gather data led by our fleet of aircraft and UAVs and strive to produce value-added data by combining this data with satellite and other types of data as part of our effort to contribute to the development of the digital society from our perspective in the sky.

Moreover, our commitment to safety is a vital part of our mission of contributing to a safe and secure society from our perspective up in the sky. As a business that operates aircraft, we scrupulously observe all the relevant laws, and guided by our motto of “safety first,” we remain committed to our company-wide safety goal of zero aircraft accidents and major incidents and to continuing our safety promotion activities.

As we move forward, we intend to strengthen mutual dialogue and communication with our stakeholders, leverage the rapid advances in digital technology, and bolster our spatial information, flight operation, and engineering and maintenance capabilities so that we further sharpen our intellect and senses from the perspective of the sky and “convey the pulse of the ground from the sky above now and forever!”
