Swoop Aero has joined up with Astral Aviation’s drone services business and drone operations partner Skyports to develop a drone logistics network in Kenya. Swoop Aero’s experience operating drone logistics networks in seven countries, combined with their proprietary technology platform, will be used to transport medicines, vaccines, and medical samples between healthcare facilities and patients in need across Kenya, beginning with last-mile delivery by the end of 2022.
These activities are a first for the region, since they include the first Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone flight and operation demonstration approvals, which were launched in close collaboration with the Kenyan Civil Aviation Authority to guarantee safety and compliance with local rules.
Swoop Aero will deploy its entire technology infrastructure and drone logistics experience in this latest venture, with local Kenyan experts Astral Aerial Solutions operating the network in close collaboration with drone infrastructure provider Skyports, to rapidly improve access to routine and emergency medicine, vaccines, and pathology in the region.
