Skyports and Kencoa Aerospace, a global aerospace solution supplier and manufacturer, have announced a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to implement cargo drone deliveries to and on South Korea’s Jeju Island.
The project aims to significantly enhance logistics capabilities on Jeju Island, South Korea’s largest island. The agreement will initiate the development of cargo drone delivery capabilities to enable the carriage of critical supplies, including medical provisions, across the island.
As part of the project, Skyports will undertake a proof-of-concept to demonstrate the benefits and capabilities of beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations on Jeju Island. In addition, the company will also conduct a feasibility assessment of setting up a cargo drone vertiport and accumulate critical eVTOL operations data ahead of the commencement of commercial operations.
