Swoop and Skyports opt for drones


Australian drone logistics company Swoop Aero and British advanced air mobility (AAM) company Skyports are extending their partnership to deploy drone delivery networks in the Americas and Europe. The collaboration will combine Skyports' experience in drone delivery operations with Swoop Aero's technology to enable increased access to drone delivery solutions.

 

The partnership also aims at improving critical supply chains to support emergency responses, such as the current anti-pandemic measures.

 

The announcement follows Swoop Aero’s recent launch of the Kite aircraft. This aircraft is designed for urban and rural flight as well as remote operations. The prototype is now undergoing the USA Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification programmes.

 

Skyports will incorporate the Kite aircraft into its fleet for usage in medical, maritime and logistics drone delivery operations in Europe, the Americas and select countries in Asia-Pacific.

 

In UK, Skyports and Swoop Aero saved over 11,000 hours of pathology waiting time during the second wave of Covid-19 and made over 422 flights beyond visual line of sight (Bvlos) of the remote pilot covering 14,000 km. (cd)
