Reliable Robotics and Astral Aviation join forces
Reliable Robotics, a provider of autonomous aircraft systems, and Kenya-based airline Astral Aviation have begun a strategic collaboration to enhance aviation safety and increase air cargo connectivity in sub-Saharan Africa through the use of automated aircraft.
The companies will work together to develop operational, regulatory, and business plans to launch automated aircraft operations in sub-Saharan Africa.
Reliable Robotics is working with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to certify its automation system on the Cessna 208 Caravan, and to begin commercial cargo operations in USA.
The collaboration with Astral Aviation will enable the subsequent international expansion into Africa where the Caravan is an essential utility aircraft with nearly 350 currently operating across the continent. (cj)
