They have partnered with LODD Autonomous to integrate the ‘Hili’ hybrid VTOL aircraft into their operations in the UAE, enhancing service speed while reducing emissions. The ‘Hili’ can carry 250 kg over 700 km, promising significant improvements by eliminating the need for runways, thus expediting deliveries. This collaboration aims to revolutionize logistics, especially for high-value shipments, positioning both companies as leaders in efficient, sustainable transport solutions.
