Royal Mail has been testing the use of drones for some time, with the most recent trial held in April on the Shetland Islands. The drones delivered mail between Tingwall Airport in Lerwick to Unst, Britain’s most northerly inhabited island – a 41-mile flight each way. The new routes will depend upon the “ongoing planned improvement in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle economics”. The Royal Mail wants a fleet of 500 drones to help deliver the mail to remote communities across the UK. What is your take on that ?
