6/26/25, 3:29 PM LODD, 7X Conduct First Parcel Delivery Trial By Drone In Abu Dhabi - UrduPoint
The first test flight, conducted in Khalifa City, demonstrated the viability of autonomous aerial parcel
delivery. A drone transported a simulated package from a local post office to a designated drop zone
using a secure winch-based delivery system.

Humaid Saber Al Hameli, Director of the Aviation Transport Division at the Integrated Transport Centre,
stated, “Ensuring the safety and security of our airspace remains a top priority for the Integrated

Transport Centre.

We continue to advance the regulatory frameworks necessary to support the safe and effective
integration of unmanned aerial systems into Abu Dhabi’s wider transport ecosystem.

He added that this pilot trial reflects the strength of collaboration between the public and private
sectors, and represents a concrete step toward the future of smart aerial mobility in the emirate.

"We are committed to providing a secure and adaptive regulatory environment that keeps pace with
innovation and empowers the adoption of emerging technologies. This enhances Abu Dhabi’s global

competitiveness and reinforces its position as a leading hub for sustainable mobility and future-focused
technologies,” Al Hameli continued.

Rashid Al Manai, CEO of LODD, said, “Autonomous drones introduce a transformative layer to urban
delivery networks. With one operator able to manage multiple deliveries simultaneously, the system
brings a new level of scalability and responsiveness to the logistics chain.”

Tariq Al Wahedi, Group CEO of 7X, noted, “This milestone reflects our continued commitment to
pioneering next-generation logistics solutions that align with the UAE’s vision for smart mobility. By
integrating autonomous aerial technology into EMX’s national logistics ecosystem, we are enhancing

operational reach and speed, and building a more adaptive, future-ready network capable of meeting
the evolving demands of commerce and connectivity.”

The pilot marks the first phase in a broader strategy to deploy drone-based logistics services
across Abu Dhabi. With progressive regulation and infrastructure readiness, the emirate is emerging
as a leader in autonomous air mobility within the region.
