The pilot will run until September 8, with 20 flights a day conveying a payload of around 5 kilograms and covering a complete elevated distance of 16 kilometers.

Skye Air will likewise be trying its new past visual-view (BVLOS) drone, Artemis, for drone conveyances too. It was divulged in May, and can hypothetically fly at 100 kilometers each hour for an hour and a half, while conveying a 6 kilogram payload.
While drone conveyance pilots and organizations have become normal during Covid, the public authority recognized this new reality before this month when it reported that it won’t disrupt such tests.
Skye Air has proactively declared comparative pilots with Swiggy and Curefoods somewhat recently, while another organization, Redwing Aerospace, reported a clinical conveyance pilot in Arunachal Pradesh on August 15. Redwing will convey meds and indicative examples to and from the distant town of Seppa, which is regularly very challenging to reach.
