Bulgaria’s Dronamics and Hellenic Post (ELTA) sign an Agreement for the First Postal Deliveries by Cargo Drones in Greece

Dronamics, the world's first cargo drone airline licensed to operate in Europe, and Hellenic Post (ELTA) have announced an agreement that will lead to the first postal deliveries by cargo drones in Greece.

Dronamics, which designs, develops and operates cargo drones, will provide medium-distance deliveries to Hellenic Post (ELTA), the national postal service of Greece. The initial routes will be domestic, connecting the mainland of the country with the islands, and the two companies are also exploring opportunities for international cooperation to connect Athens with key European cities.

ELTA has over 190 years of history and has approximately 1,100 service points across the country. Its strategic goals include the adoption of innovative solutions and sustainable development, making it an early adopter of Dronamics's cargo drone deliveries.

Greece is the launch market for Dronamics's commercial operations, which are expected to begin early next year. The drone cargo airline focuses on establishing same-day deliveries connecting the capital Athens with the industrial north of the country as well as the islands in the south. Dronamics's general sales agent for Greece is Golden Cargo, a provider of premium logistics, cargo handling and warehousing services.

Dronamics can offer deliveries that are up to 80% faster, 50% cheaper and 60% lower in carbon footprint compared to traditional transport, making them particularly suitable for emergencies such as postal and packages. Its remote-controlled aircraft, the Black Swan, needs only 400 meters to land and take off, a suitable solution for reaching remote and underserved areas where traditional airport infrastructure is absent or poorly developed. There are over 300 inhabited islands in Greece...
