Hong Kong is exploring the use of drone deliveries, the South China Morning Post reports.
The report cites a transport official as defining the Northern Metropolis and the Kau Yi Chau artificial islands – previously known as the Lantau Tomorrow Vision – as feasible locations for drone delivery pilot projects, as they had sufficient open spaces that allowed drones to avoid crowds.
The South China Morning Post quoted Liu Chun-san, undersecretary for transport and logistics, as saying the pilots would “begin with the transport of goods by unmanned aircraft, and then gradually widen and enrich the application scenarios of Advanced Air Mobility from near to far, and from light to heavy.”
Liu also noted that there was scope for town planning to accommodate drone infrastructure such as vertiports and charging facilities.
