Nova Poshta tested sending a Discovery drone with a parcel from Chaika airfield, outside of Kyiv, to Korotych airfield, outside of Kharkiv. The drone successfully made the 480 km flight in five hours. Next month, the private delivery company plans to send a 250 kg parcel from Kyiv to Lviv. Flying at 300 meters, “this type of transportation is absolutely safe,” asserts Nova Poshta CEO Alexander Bulba. “In the sky, the UAV behaves like a real plane and can recognize any obstacles in its path. In particular, the drone is equipped with a special parachute.”
