Abu Dhabi has launched its first test flight for a cutting-edge drone parcel delivery service.
According to Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio):
“The test journey over Khalifa City, announced on Wednesday, involved a drone taking a package from a local post office to a designated drop zone using a secure winch-based delivery system.
“The trial was completed by a partnership which includes Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio), aviation technology company LODD, and 7X, an investment holding group which includes Emirates Post and express delivery provider EMX.
“The scheme came under the strategy of the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council to harness advanced technology to improve logistics networks and promote smart mobility, with the support of the General Civil Aviation Authority and the Integrated Transport Centre. Work continues to put regulations in place to support the wider commercial use of autonomous air transport services.”
