If you want to see drones flying through Europe, we have good news.
Dronamics is Europes first licensed cargodroneairline and TheInternational Air Transport Association(IATAs) first Strategic Partner for drones.
This has taken far too long.
This will enable same-day shipping in industries such as pharmaceuticals, e-commerce, and emergency aid.
The drones can travel long distances, helping customers currently under-served by traditional delivery providers.
Europes slow approach to commercial drones
Commercial delivery drones have been slow to roll out in Europe.
In Europe, theres only Irish startupMannacurrently delivering groceries, food and medication in Balbriggan, County Dublin.
The droneports have many advantages over other cargo delivery, such as easily integrating into customer supply chains.
All thats needed are paved or unpaved airstrips over 400m long.
This reduces the cost of set-up and infrastructure, creating a more sustainable product offering.
But Dronamics are trying a different approach.
Drones are essential if Europe wants to meet its climate change targets.
The aviation industry has a collective goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
This means fewer trucks on the roads, less road traffic, and lower pollution levels.
This is a win for everyone.
