Methodologies, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for generating routes for aerial drones. A computing system generates a first navigation route to guide a first aerial drone from an origin location to a destination location which includes passing through a limited coverage zone. The aerial drone is configured to periodically transmit information to a remote computing device. The computing system also generates the second navigation route to guide a second aerial drone near the limited coverage zone and within communication range of the first aerial drone when the first aerial drone is passing through the limited coverage zone. Relay instructions are also generated by the computing system to prompt the first aerial drone to relay the information via the second aerial drone to the remote computing device while the first aerial drone is in the limited coverage zone.
