href=\"https:\/\/www.aramex.com\/us\/en\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Aramex<\/a> have unveiled a partnership to explore the development of Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) cargo delivery in the UAE and Oman, according to a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zawya.com\/en\/press-release\/companies-news\/odys-aviation-and-aramex-announce-partnership-to-develop-cargo-operations-in-the-united-arab-emirates-and-oman-d6331abq\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">statement<\/a>.The current timeline sees Odys supplying unmanned cargo aircraft to Aramex by 2028, the statement notes.. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Details:<\/strong> The agreement sees the pair collaborating to explore autonomous logistics programs and roll out cargo flights leveraging Odys\u2019 aircraft and Aramex\u2019 fleet management resources. The pilot program will employ a smaller aircraft with a 130 lb payload before moving to a larger aircraft capable of carrying up to a one tonne cargo. Aramex will support pilot training and test flight programs while the pair will collaborate to develop a Concept of Operations (CONOPS) to ensure aircraft suitability to local environments. Upon receiving regulatory approval, the pair look to launch commercial operations in the GCC, the statement said. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>A boon for sustainability:<\/strong> The aircraft slated for use in the initiative are capable of all-electric propulsion for distances up to 320 km, with a hybrid-electric propulsion range exceeding 1.2k km. Flights utilizing such aircraft will cut carbon emission on pan-GCC flights by up to 76%, while providing zero emissions for shorter haul distances within the UAE and Oman, the statement said.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div
