ABU DHABI (ALETIHAD)

With the support of the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (ADIO), the aviation technology firm LODD, and 7X, the
investment holding group in trade, transport and logistics, overseeing the logistics and express delivery provider

EMX, have launched the first pilot flight for autonomous drone parcel deliveries in Abu Dhabi, marking a qualitative
leap in the logistics sector across the emirate.

The trial falls under the strategy of the Smart and Autonomous Systems Council (SASC) which, with ADIO’s support,
aims to develop and adopt smart and integrated mobility solutions in the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Conducted with
oversight from the General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) and the Integrated Transport Centre, the initiative is part of
a wider strategy to enable smart mobility solutions through ADIO’s Smart and Autonomous Vehicles Industry (SAVI)
cluster.

The initiative supports Abu Dhabi’s efforts to localise production, develop future-ready infrastructure, and reinforce its
position as a global hub for innovation and advanced industries.
