Greece: Dronamics, Hellenic Post sign agreement for drone deliveries

Dron­am­ics, the world’s first car­go drone air­line with a licence to oper­ate in Europe and Hel­lenic Post (ELTA), have announced an agree­ment that will bring the first postal ser­vices by car­go drone in Greece, reports a press release. Dron­am­ics is to pro­vide mid­dle-mile deliv­er­ies to ELTA, the nation­al postal ser­vice for Greece.

The release states, ”Start­ing with a domes­tic ser­vice con­nect­ing the main­land with off­shore islands, the two com­pa­nies are also explor­ing inter­na­tion­al coop­er­a­tion to pro­vide postal car­go drone deliv­er­ies from Athens to key Euro­pean cities.” 

ELTA runs close to 1,100 ser­vice points through­out the coun­try. The release con­tin­ues, ”Its strate­gic goals include the adop­tion of inno­v­a­tive solu­tions and sus­tain­able devel­op­ment, mak­ing them an ear­ly adopter of the car­go drone ser­vices offered by Dron­am­ics.” 

The Greece launch is expect­ed to begin ear­ly next year. The drone com­pa­ny is focus­ing on estab­lish­ing a same day ser­vice con­nect­ing Athens with the indus­tri­al north area of the coun­try as well as the islands in the south. 

The company’s drone stal­wart, Black Swan, requires only 300 metres to land and take off, a viable solu­tion for reach­ing remote and under­served areas where tra­di­tion­al air­port infra­struc­ture is miss­ing or under­de­vel­oped. There are over 300 inhab­it­ed islands in Greece whose com­mu­ni­ties can ben­e­fit from a faster and cheap­er green air car­go solu­tion. 

Svilen Rangelov, Co-Founder and CEO of Dron­am­ics, com­ment­ed, “This col­lab­o­ra­tion is a piv­otal step toward empow­er­ing com­mu­ni­ties, bridg­ing dis­tances and mak­ing essen­tial ser­vices afford­able and acces­si­ble for every­one.” 

Grig­oris Sklikas, CEO of Hel­lenic Post added, “This part­ner­ship is an impor­tant ini­tia­tive that will change the map in the Greek couri­er mar­ket and pro­vide rapid ser­vices all over Greece in a green­er way. This part­ner­ship is a turn­ing point in our reor­gan­i­sa­tion since it sum­maris­es our mot­to for the future: Reach­ing every­where, bet­ter.”

Last month, Dron­am­ics announced an LOI with the Emi­rates Post Group, the nation­al postal ser­vice in the UAE.
