Drone Delivery Canada (TSXV:FLT) has received approval for dangerous goods transportation on its DroneCare commercial project.
The Toronto-based drone manufacturer achieved official approval for beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights in tandem with the transportation of dangerous goods for its DroneCare route. The company said this marks a significant milestone in the development of its drone delivery capabilities in the healthcare market segment.
Transport Canada’s approval of DDC’s drone route will allow them to transfer medical samples between Milton District Hospital and Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital in Ontario. The Canary drone will carry a variety of critical medical supplies between the two hospitals including, but not limited to, blood and serum chemistry tests, blood bank materials, urine cultures and small cytology containers with formalin and blood culture bottles.
“This also continues our work in the healthcare vertical which is an important market for DDC,” Steve Magirias, Drone Delivery’s CEO, said in a statement. “With BVLOS flights and dangerous goods transportation authorization, we will continue to transform the way healthcare supplies are transported, ensuring faster delivery times and enhancing overall patient care.”
