A pioneering drone delivery flight has paved the way for a new lifeline connection with the idyllic yet remote Isles of Scilly and opened up the prospect of drone operations between airports across the UK. Yesterday s successful return flight from Land’s End Airport in West Cornwall to St Mary’s Airport on the Isles of Scilly was the first ever freight drone flight between two UK commercial airports. Specially sanctioned by the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), it is breaking new ground in helping to establish rules for drones to operate along an existing and well used commercial air corridor, across two Air Traffic Control areas.

Mr O Regan asked the premier if the government are in favour of changing the present inappropriate name of the colony for the more suitable one of MÄoriland . [Premier Richard Seddon] thought, for weal or woe, we had better stick to the name of New Zealand, and he was not inclined to change the name.
MÄoriland. If you used that term today, nobody would know what you were talking about (unless they were a film buff, in which case they might think you were talking about the MÄoriland Film Festival).
But if you jumped in a time machine and headed back to the 19th or early 20th century, everybody would know that MÄoriland meant New Zealand.
A drone has successfully carried NHS supplies from the mainland to the Isles of Scilly for the first time, which was then sent back loaded with gin.
The unmanned aircraft delivered an NHS supply box to St Mary s airport in a 60-mile round trip which marks the first-ever drone freight delivery between two commercial airports in the UK.
This ground-breaking trip has been heralded as paving the way for a new lifeline connection with the remote islands off the coast of Cornwall.
The drone then returned to Land s End airport with local floral and alcoholic produce from the islands.
Currently, most freight is carried to the islands by ship, with some being taken alongside passengers on planes.
