The United Kingdom makes the first delivery of mail by drone

Orkney has become the first place in the UK to have mail delivered by drone.

Operation Orkney I-Port has been launched by Royal Mail and drone firm Skyports to deliver letters and parcels between the islands.

In partnership with the council's port authority and Loganair, mail will be transported from Royal Mail's delivery office in Kirkwall to Stromness.

From there, the drones will transport items to Graemsay and Hoy, where postal staff will complete their delivery routes.

While the service will initially run for three months, it may continue indefinitely.

The drone service is expected to significantly improve service levels and delivery times in Graemsay and Hoy, as weather and geography can cause disruption to delivery services.

The use of electric drones for inter-island delivery will also bring significant security improvements by ensuring that postal workers can deliver between ports without risk.

Skyports will operate the inter-island flights with the Speedbird Aero DLV-2 aircraft. The multirotor drone is capable of carrying loads of up to 6 kg.

Alex Brown, director of Skyports Drone Services, said: “Using drone technology, we are revolutionizing postal services in remote communities, providing more efficient and timely delivery and helping to reduce the demand for emissions-producing vehicles. "- he said./CNA.al
