Drone Delivery Canada (DDC) has executed a Letter of Intent with Astral Aerial Solutions in Kenya.
The parties will cooperate and work jointly with the local regulator (Kenya Civil Aviation Authority) to identify and analyse market opportunities in Kenya for DDC’s drone delivery solution with the intent to work towards a definitive agreement for that market.
Michael Zahra, president and chief executive of DDC, said: “As our first international opportunity, we are pleased to be working with Astral Aerial towards an agreement for DDC’s drone logistics solution in Kenya.
“There are numerous potential applications from traditional last-mile cargo to mining, oil & gas, healthcare, humanitarian aid and infrastructure inspection services.
“Astral Aerial’s parent company, Astral Aviation has a global, award-winning reputation and we look forward to a commercial relationship with them.”
Sanjeev Gadhia, chief executive of Astral Aerial Solutions and Astral Aviation, said: “We are honoured to co-operate with Drone Delivery Canada, and to learn from their experience in providing innovative drone-based logistics platforms in Canada that can be applied in Africa.
“The Canadian technology can benefit various sectors in Africa especially in Healthcare and accessibility to Remote Communities.”
