Etihad Cargo has signed an agreement with LODD Autonomous to explore integration of ‘Hili’ hybrid VTOL aircraft into its UAE operations. The Hili has a payload y of 250kg and a range of over 700km and needs no runway.
The new partnership will centre on experimental operations to test the efficiency, safety, and ground logistics compatibility of the drone for point-to-point UAE-wide transfers.
Etihad Cargo will also explore the operational and commercial potential of integrating the VTOL aircraft into its future fleet.
