Skye Air Mobility takes off for a drone enabled future

New Delhi, 15th March, 2022:

Skye Air Mobility, a Drone Delivery logistics firm with headquarters at New Delhi is changing the face of businesses as it continues to achieve its key milestones cutting across diverse sectors such as healthcare, diagnostics, ecommerce and agri-commodity.

The tech start-up which recently completed its 1000 deliveries via its flagship Skye Ship One, last Friday has achieved several key milestones. Skye Air marks a milestone of 1000 flights in 6 months; making India the 12th nation in the world to lead the drone delivery space. This is a step forward for the entire industry towards making India a Global Drone Hub by 2030.
Some notable ones which have made a buzz have been its association with the Telangana Government’s ‘Medicine from the Sky project’. Skye Air under different consortiums- Flipkart Air consortium, Blue Dart Med Express Consortium & Dunzo Med-Air Consortium, enabled an all-round ecosystem for drone based logistic transportation. These flights were a part of the live demonstration trials conducted in real-time with vaccines, covid diagnostic samples and medicines in Vikarabad (Telangana).

Further adding a feather in the cap, Skye Air has been the first drone delivery company from India which has showcased Indigenised drones at the Dubai Air Show marking a defined space for India in the drone logistics ecosystem globally.

Commenting on the milestone Ankit Kumar, CEO, Skye Air Mobility said, “The Drone Rules 2021 has given wings to the Drone Delivery space in India. The Ministry of Civil Aviation has been on the forefront with a mission to make India a global drone hub by 2030. We are very grateful to the authorities for providing the right push to this industry. Our clients such as Dunzo Digital, Flipkart, Blue Dart Express, Redcliffe Labs have entrusted us with a greater responsibility of transporting packages in a safe and secure environment. We thrive on the success and happy smiles of our clients and this day when we celebrate 1000+ delivery milestone, we dedicate this to our clients, regulators and our well-capable team who have made this possible. And this is just the beginning, because we are warming up for achieving greater success not just in India but also in other nations. Our goal remains to impact lives of many by providing faster, efficient and cost-effective deliveries”.
