The first test flight, in Khalifa City, had a drone transport a simulated package from a local post
office to a designated drop zone using a secure winch-based delivery system.

“Abu Dhabi’s recent autonomous drone delivery marks a major step in enabling advanced aerial
systems to serve communities at scale," said Omran Malek, Head of SAVI Cluster, Abu Dhabi
Investment Office.

"Within our SAVI cluster, we are developing the infrastructure, regulation and partnerships needed
to move from experimentation to real-world integration."

Outcomes from these efforts are going to show up the UAE's air and even at doorsteps as drones do
the hard miles.
