SpiceJet’s arm gets DGCA's nod for drone trials

30 May 2020 Evaluate
SpiceJet’s freighter arm -- SpiceXpress has received approval for conducting drone trials from aviation regulator Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). After post trials and approvals, the airline plans to use drones in delivery of essential supplies to remote areas.
 
A SpiceXpress-led consortium had submitted a proposal to the regulator for conducting experimental beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations of remotely piloted aircraft in response to a DGCA notice inviting expression of interest. Based on the recommendations of the BVLOS Experiment Assessment and Monitoring Committee, SpiceXpress was granted permission for conducting experimental BVLOS operations.
 
The company is optimistic about using this new mode of delivery for products like perishables and medicines which have a smaller shelf-life and need urgent deliveries in the remotest parts of India.
 
SpiceJet is India’s favourite airline that has made flying affordable for more Indians than ever before.
