TORONTO air cargo drone maker Drone Delivery Canada (DDC) has a deal with Air Canada Cargo to offer delivery
services to the public, reports New York's FreightWaves.
"We believe drone technology
has the potential to offer the cargo community cost-effective solutions in
non-traditional markets, including remote communities in Canada," said Air
Canada vice president Tim Strauss.
DDC's largest drone, the Condor, can deliver 400 pounds
of cargo up to 124 miles away. Air
Canada will market and sell the company's services, while DDC will build and
operate up to 150,000 routes.
The deal represents a major leap for
the drone maker in the early stages of commercialising its operations.
Partnering with Canada's largest airline and air cargo provider provides DDC a
platform to expand well beyond successful pilot programmes in select rural
communities.
"This agreement greatly
accelerates our commercial roll out in Canada," said DDC chief executive Tony Di
Benedetto.
"Our drone delivery services
will be extensively marketed as we work to establish operations across the
country leveraging Air Canada Cargo's brand presence and their established
sales network and marketing reach."
Canada's land mass compared to its
population of 36 million is a natural fit for drones. They have the potential
to provide cost-effective, timely deliveries in sparsely populated areas,
particularly in the far north.
