AirMarker AG is a Swiss startup based in Malans that was founded in 2021 by Rico Dürst and Daniel Wattenhofer. The idea originated from the daily work of a flight assistant: Rico Dürst regularly flew in a helicopter searching for accident victims and quickly realized how much time is lost because victims are not visible. The solution—a balloon that rises and marks the location—was launched in 2023 as a globally patented product.
