Drone Delivery in Island Areas to Officially Launch in August
Drone Delivery in Island Areas to Officially Launch in August
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and
Transport announced that 14 municipalities, selected in March for the drone
demonstration city project, have completed preparations for drone delivery.
They will officially launch the K-Drone Delivery service starting in August.
To ensure the safety of
beyond-visual-line-of-sight (BVLOS) drone flights for delivery, the Ministry
granted special flight approvals and inspected the setup of delivery hubs,
points, and control centers by local governments. They provided a standard manual
to help drone delivery companies establish drone safety management systems and
implemented a monitoring system and a drone situation management center to
ensure safe flight operations.
Key delivery items include meals and
household goods up to 3 kg. In some island areas, seafood will be sent back to
the mainland. Regional specialties will be delivered to parks, and ship
supplies to ports. Drones can also quickly deliver defibrillators and first aid
kits for emergencies, following local government guidelines.
Some large corporations are participating
in the K-Drone Delivery system to deliver their products, such as smartphones
and water purifier items, directly to consumers. This participation suggests
that the range of delivery items may become more diverse in the future.
