Abu Dhabi, June25 (BNA): 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) that, with the Abu Dhabi
Investment Office (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.

Omran Malek, Head of the SAVI Cluster at ADIO, said, "ADIO is proud to champion the development and rollout of cutting-
edge logistics technologies that strengthen Abu Dhabi’s position as a global innovation hub. This pilot is a powerful
example of the kind of local partnerships and forward-thinking strategies that drive long-term economic and infrastructure
value for the Emirate."
