UK s first drone delivery service launched by Royal Mail | News

The UK’S first done delivery service has been launched in a remote part of Scotland. Royal Mail and Skyports Drone Services have launched the Orkney I-Port operation to distribute letters and parcels between the islands. Mail will be transported from Royal Mail’s Kirkwall delivery office to Stromness, where the drone deliveries will transport items to staff on Graemsay and Hoy to allow postal workers to carry out their usual island delivery routes. The service will initially operate for three months, but could be made permanent. Alex Brown, director of Skyports Drone Services, described the launch as ‘revoluntionary’.
