Saudi Arabia Begins First Drone Delivery Trial for Postal Parcels
Saudi Arabia has launched its first-ever trial of drone deliveries for postal parcels, marking a significant step in modernising the Kingdom’s logistics sector.
The pilot project, announced on Thursday, is a collaboration between the General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) and the Transport General Authority (TGA), according to the state-run Saudi Press Agency.
Officials described the test as a key milestone in transforming postal and delivery services. Rumaih Al Rumaih, Deputy Minister of Transport and Logistic Services, said the initiative would “open new horizons” for expanding delivery options and developing innovative solutions aligned with the Kingdom’s digital transformation agenda.
The drone trial is part of broader efforts under Vision 2030 to improve transport efficiency, reduce delivery times, and integrate advanced technologies into everyday life. Authorities highlighted that the project aims to deliver parcels more safely, quickly, and sustainably across the Kingdom.
