Our Story
Up until 2020, the drone industry in Guam was primarily composed of recreational flyers. While other countries, notably the mainland U.S., were leveraging drone technology across various industries, Guam lagged far behind, utilizing drones primarily for aerial photography and videography. The other islands in the Micronesia region were even further behind in adoption.
​
That's when our founders saw an opportunity, and 2cofly (pronounced ecofly) was born and had their focus on one specific industry: AEC.
2021 AND BEYOND
Growth of an industry
Within just one year of business, 2cofly received a large contract to conduct an aeromagnetic survey for a substantial solar development in Guam, along with other construction-related projects. This early opportunity enabled 2cofly to grow rapidly, expanding from a single drone and sensor to a fleet of drones equipped with various sensor solutions.

Mentoring Pilots
As the industry grew, the pilot base in our region needed to grow with it. 2cofly has committed tens of thousands of dollars into developing a Part 107 curriculum to support the growth of our local pilot base.
​
2cofly is currently the only drone company in our region to offer a full online course to teach students to become an FAA Part 107 pilot.
RESPONSIBILITY
Safety is No. 1
The FAA classifies drones as aircraft, so operating a drone isn't as simple as buying one off the shelf and flying it. There are safety factors to consider, rules and regulations to follow, and a considerable amount of education and training needed.
​
Hiring the right pilot team and the right organizations with a high standard of safety makes all the difference. 2cofly's chief pilot is one of the most experienced drone pilots in Guam and is also an FAA Safety Team representative for our region.
