Starting this month, UVL Robotics will offer drone delivery services in Oman, specifically serving its largest city, Muscat. The drones, utilized through a partnership with a local delivery service, have also secured authorization to operate beyond the visual line of sight (BVLOS).
Securing official authorization for BVLOS flights involves a comprehensive process, necessitating approvals from several authorities, including the Royal Air Force of Oman (RAFO), the Royal Oman Police (ROP), and the National Security Agency (NSA). These approvals have been obtained, allowing our drones to operate without any range restrictions.
Eugene Grankin, CEO of UVL Robotics, reflects on the journey: "It was a useful experience that gave our technology life. The UVL team gained trust from the local authorities to move the project forward, and I am very grateful to everyone who participated in this process. A new milestone in the history of delivery has been reached."
For Muscat's residents, drone delivery in Oman promises faster service, unaffected by heavy traffic, infrastructure issues, or climatic conditions. This project is the first and only of its kind in the Middle East, marking a significant advancement in the region's delivery services.
