TORONTO — Drone Delivery Canada Corp. announces the successful completion of the first flights in a commercial setting for the Canary remote piloted aircraft (RPA) on the Care by Air route, which is the Company’s longest ever commercial route at 13.4km.

The Company completed 3 round trip flights with the Canary on the Care by Air route, with all flights completed in accordance with the Canadian Aviation Regulations. The third flight was completed in wind conditions where the Sparrow RPA would not have been flown, highlighting the improved flight dynamics of the Canary over the Sparrow.

Compared to its predecessor, the Sparrow RPA, the Canary showcased improved performance in several flight measures.

“The successful commercial flights of the Canary on the Care by Air route marks a significant milestone for our company and the drone delivery industry as a whole,” said Steve Magirias, CEO of Drone Delivery Canada. “We are incredibly proud of our team’s dedication and innovation, which has allowed us to push the boundaries of what’s possible in the realm of drone logistics. The Canary’s impressive performance demonstrates its immense potential to revolutionize healthcare supply chains and make a tangible difference in people’s lives.”
