ASL inks deal for autonomous flight system
Global aviation services provider ASL Aviation Holdings, and Reliable Robotics Corporation, a specialist for autonomous aircraft systems, have announced that ASL has placed a deposit-backed order for 30 units of the Reliable autonomous flight system for the Cessna 208B Caravan.
The deal secures early delivery slots and helps ASL to enhance the safety and efficiency of its services. ASL and Reliable have been working together since 2022 to bring advanced automation and remote piloting into ASL’s operations and have a shared goal of expanding the programme to include additional aircraft types in the next 12 months.
“Automating the Caravan with Reliable’s technology will enable ASL to deliver safe and reliable air cargo transport services at a lower operating cost to our express freight, postal and e-commerce retailer customers,” said ASL Aviation Holdings director, Hugh Flynn. (cj)
