AirAsia has announced they are partnering with the Malaysian Global Innovation and Creativity Centre (MaGIC) to launch a pilot project for the delivery of goods from AirAsia’s e-commerce platforms.
The pilot project is set to be carried out through a 6-month phased approach at the third National Technology and Innovation Sandbox (NTIS) test site in Cyberjaya.
They are currently testing out the service with two local drone operators—VStream Revolution and Meraque Services.
AirAsia CEO Tony Fernandez said: “We are excited to be partnering with MaGIC to explore urban drone deliver—an innovative logistic solution that will ultimately improve efficiency and operational excellence as well as accelerate the pace of delivery in urban areas,
"Besides, drone delivery enables us to keep up with the ever-growing demand for e-commerce,” he added.
The first phase of the project is to assess the drone operators’ capabilities, experience, process, deployment readiness, and service expansion.
Once the trial phase is successful, the project will move “beyond the sandbox environment”.
