MightyFly Secures $50 Million Contract with Leading Healthcare Provider to deliver same-day healthcare test kits across California

MightyFly has announced a $50 mil­lion, five-year con­tract with a lead­ing Cal­i­for­nia-based health­care diag­nos­tics provider to deliv­er same-day, expe­dit­ed logis­tics of diag­nos­tics test kits.

In a press release issued ear­li­er this week, the ser­vice will launch in Cal­i­for­nia and expand to Neva­da, before and scale nation­wide. This part­ner­ship marks one of the largest com­mer­cial agree­ments to date to bring autonomous car­go eVTOL air­craft into health­care logis­tics at scale.

MightyFly says this land­mark agree­ment sig­nals a piv­otal shift for the logis­tics indus­try. Unlike unmanned aer­i­al vehi­cles (UAVs) that typ­i­cal­ly deliv­er a sin­gle item between two points, its air­craft can autonomous­ly trans­port hun­dreds of test kits to and from mul­ti­ple des­ti­na­tions on a sin­gle route.

The result: three times faster deliv­er­ies enabled with eVTOL door-to-door ship­ments, faster turn­around times for diag­nos­tic results and 70 per cent low­er oper­at­ing costs than lega­cy logis­tics ser­vices.

Man­al Habib, CEO of MightyFly, said: “Our mis­sion is to pro­vide effi­cient access to goods. In health­care, that means enabling the most expe­di­tious, acces­si­ble and afford­able care.

“With our Cen­to air­craft, we will deliv­er resilient, cost-effi­cient and reli­able expe­dit­ed logis­tics at scale. With its 1,000-mile range and car­go capac­i­ties in the hun­dreds of items, our air­craft will trans­form expe­dit­ed logis­tics and health­care access.

“With its eVTOL, health­care is no longer con­strained by roads and run­ways; life­sav­ing sup­plies and crit­i­cal goods can now fly every­where, direct­ly and effi­cient­ly.”

By doing so, MightyFly will ulti­mate­ly expand access to care for the provider’s cus­tomers and their end-users,
includ­ing major retail­ers such as Ama­zon, Wal­mart, CVS and Kroger, as well as clin­ics and edu­ca­tion­al insti­tu­tions.

MightyFly’s autonomous eVTOL ser­vice will pro­vide same-day deliv­er­ies, with in-tran­sit cold stor­age as an option­al fea­ture, direct­ly from phar­ma­cies, clin­ics and retail stores tothe health­care provider’s labs, reduc­ing depen­dence on cost­ly com­mer­cial air­line ship­ments and inef­fi­cient ground trans­porta­tion.

In addi­tion to speed and reli­a­bil­i­ty, MightyFly’s air­craft offer a sus­tain­able alter­na­tive, cut­ting emis­sions by up to 64 per cent com­pared to vans and 92 per cent com­pared to small air­craft.

The oppor­tu­ni­ty is vast; the U.S. phar­ma­ceu­ti­cal logis­tics mar­ket exceeds $100 bil­lion annu­al­ly, while health­care logis­tics approach­es $90 bil­lion. Both are pro­ject­ed to more than dou­ble in the com­ing decade as diag­nos­tics, per­son­al­ized med­i­cine and resilient sup­ply chains become crit­i­cal to health­care deliv­ery.

The announce­ment fol­lows a series of major mile­stones for MightyFly in 2025:

● 400+ flights demon­strat­ed, includ­ing auto­mat­ed car­go load­ing and unload­ing
● Suc­cess­ful SBIR Phase II with the U.S. Air Force, advanc­ing autonomous aer­i­al logis­tics tech­nol­o­gy
● $210+ mil­lion in signed com­mer­cial Let­ters of Intent (LOIs), val­i­dat­ing broad mar­ket demand
● FAA autho­riza­tion to test in 5 Cal­i­for­nia air­spaces, up to 5,000 ft, includ­ing sev­en air­ports and mul­ti­ple flight cor­ri­dors

Habib added: “With this con­tract and the momen­tum of our recent achieve­ments, MightyFly is lead­ing
the next stage of autonomous aer­i­al logis­tics, mov­ing beyond small drones to trans­port­ing large vol­umes of goods at scale.

“This is just the begin­ning and health­care is the first step. Our hybrid eVTOL plat­form will rede­fine expe­dit­ed
logis­tics across retail, defense, man­u­fac­tur­ing and com­mer­cial sup­ply chains world­wide.”
