The partnership will combine Skyports’ experience in drone delivery operations with Swoop Aero’s technology to streamline logistics networks and improve supply chains to support emergency responses such as the Covid-19 crisis.
They will use Swoop Aero’s Kite aircraft, which is designed for urban flight as well as rural and remote operations.
Skyports will use the Kite aircraft for medical, maritime and logistics deliveries across Europe, the Americas and select countries in Asia Pacific.
Eric Peck, CEO of Swoop Aero says: “We’re looking forward to extending our collaboration into new markets, and continuing to work towards Swoop Aero’s goal to provide 100 million people with access to sustainable drone networks by 2025.”
Duncan Walker, CEO of Skyports says: “The extension of this partnership not only demonstrates our commitment to improving medical logistics and access to healthcare around the world, but it also highlights the work we’re doing to make drone deliveries a commercial, scalable reality.”
