Swoop Aero and Skyports Extend Partnership

Drone logistics company Swoop Aero and advanced air mobility company Skyports are extending their partnership to deploy drone delivery networks across the Americas and Europe. The announcement follows Swoop Aero’s recent launch of the Kite aircraft, designed for urban flight and high-impact rural and remote operations. Through the partnership, Skyports will become the first partner organization to gain access to the Kite aircraft.

Skyports will be the first partner organization of Swoop Aero to gain access to the aircraft as part of Swoop Aero’s Kite Pioneer Program. Skyports will incorporate the Kite aircraft into its fleet for use across medical, maritime, and logistics drone delivery operations across Europe, the Americas, and select countries across Asia and the Pacific .

The companies began their partnership in 2020. As part of the partnership, Skyports used Swoop Aero’s air logistics platform to deliver and distribute COVID-19 commodities. More recently, Skyports used the Swoop Aero platform to support the transportation of pathology and blood samples to and from rural communities in Scotland.
