Aerit has begun drone delivery services covering select households in Värmdö Kommun. Aerit’s services will offer a range of products including pharmacy goods, groceries, meals, and retail items from stores and restaurants located in Värmdö Köpcentrum.
The delivery flights, conducted beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS), provide on-demand access to goods and services for households registered with the company. The services will initially be offered on weekends before expanding to cover more days of the week.”Establishing our first delivery hub is a major milestone for Aerit and drone services in Sweden. We are turning 30 minute car trips into 7 minute battery-powered flights,” said Alexander Perrien, CEO of Aerit. “Värmdö Kommun has been a great partner in this journey assisting with everything from identification of potential locations to land permit applications. We look forward to enhancing the sustainability and accessibility of the community.”
