Amazon UK participates in UK CAA's drone delivery trials for airspace integration.
Amazon UK has been selected to participate in trials testing drone deliveries as part of a new UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) scheme. The trials aim to gather safety data on drone detection and avoidance, and electronic signals for visibility to other airspace users and air traffic control. By integrating drones safely into UK airspace, the CAA hopes to pave the way for drone operations beyond visual line of sight to become an everyday reality. The initiative involves six projects, including Amazon's Prime Air service, which aims to deliver small packages to customers in less than an hour using drones.
