Dubai hosted a three-week long Beyond Visual Line of Sight - BVLOS drone delivery trials conducted by Jeebly LLC

Jeebly LLC, a UAE-based logistics service provider, and Skye Air Mobility, an Indian autonomous drone delivery startup, performed three-week-long Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drone delivery testing in Dubai. The trial demonstrated the safe and secure delivery of various consumer items within the Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO). Skye Ship One, the drone utilised in the testing, has a proprietary networking system, navigation system, and several safety mechanisms, including parachute and collision avoidance, among others.

Packages were seen being stored inside delivery boxes linked to drones in videos and images from the experiments. The drone then takes off and flies for a while before landing at the selected delivery location. The tests were conducted in the Dubai Experimental Zone in DSO. The zone acts as a real-world test-bed for robotics and autonomous systems development, assessment, and demonstration. It was formed as part of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council,'s Dubai Programme to Enable Drone Transportation, which was announced in November 2021.

The success of the early testing has "immense significance" in defining the regulatory and operational issues for commercial transport operations employing drones, according to Ahmad Hasan Belqaizi, executive director, Aviation Safety and Environment Sector at the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority.
