A solution to the problem of short battery life of drones and operation in isolated or distant areas of service, by means of docking station/stations that allow for the autonomous landing/takeoff, storage, recharging and/or battery swapping for the drone/drones. The station is multi-cell station for drones with one or more landing/takeoff cells; at least two docking/storage cells; a transitioning closed-loop system configured for transporting the drones within the landing/takeoff cells and docking/storage cells; and control means configured for autonomous control, operation and management of the multi-cell station, where each one of the one or more landing/takeoff cells and at least two docking/storage cells shares at least two sides with neighbouring cells. Recharging mechanism for recharging the stored drones and transitioning mechanism for circulating the drones within the cells of the station are also provided.
