The Pro Aerial League aims to introduce new people to the world of drone racing and the various career opportunities it offers. They organize events that not only feature team-based competitions but also provide hands-on educational and entertainment activities at no additional cost. The league was recognized as the 2017 International Drone Racing Association's Startup of the Year due to its emphasis on team-based competitions, partnership with Facebook, and the incorporation of a spectator experience into drone racing. It is the first professional team drone racing league where spectators can watch races, learn to fly drones, or even go on ride-alongs with the teams.
