PhotoMap has signed a contract for a Diamond Aircraft DA62 MPP SurveyStar, adding the aircraft to its fleet to support aerial survey operations through subsidiary AeriMap. The contract was signed at Diamond Aircraft's stand during INTERGEO 2026 in Munich, one of the world's leading trade fairs for geodesy, geoinformation and land management.
The DA62 MPP SurveyStar combines Diamond's DA62 platform with a dedicated mission system architecture built for airborne mapping and surveying work. Diamond cites low operating costs, fuel efficiency, long endurance and sensor integration flexibility as key features of the platform, factors that PhotoMap has identified as central to its selection.
“The DA62 MPP SurveyStar offers exactly the combination of performance, endurance and economic efficiency that we were looking for,” says Miloslav Ďurica, chief executive of PhotoMap. “As demand for high-resolution geospatial data continues to grow, this aircraft will provide us with a highly capable platform to further enhance our service portfolio and deliver even greater value to our customers. We look forward to a successful partnership with Diamond Aircraft.”
“We are delighted to welcome PhotoMap to the growing community of DA62 MPP operators,” adds Mario Spiegel, head of sales at Diamond Aircraft's special mission aircraft unit. “The DA62 MPP SurveyStar has established itself as a highly effective platform for aerial mapping and surveying thanks to its operational efficiency, reliability and outstanding mission performance.”
PhotoMap is one of Slovakia's leading providers of aerial surveying, photogrammetry and geospatial data services, and operates its aerial survey business through subsidiary AeriMap. The DA62 MPP SurveyStar acquisition represents an investment in the company's capacity to deliver data products to customers across Europe, and adds to a growing operator base for Diamond's special mission platform.
