The company, which is developing drones capable of carrying up to 350kg of cargo up to 2,500km, said the latest signatories mean it now has 38 airports in 12 European countries signed up to the scheme. Now, Paderborn-Lippstadt, Weeze and Rostock-Laage airports will be ready to join the drone operations which are scheduled to begin in 2022.

Dronamics co-founder and CEO Svilen Rangelov said: “With the first 3 droneports in Germany, we are unlocking the huge potential of the German market and confirming regional airport partners that can service large metropolitan areas like the Ruhr region or major logistics hubs like the Rostock port.

“In the coming months we’ll further expand our droneports network in Germany and Europe, and to connect more and more communities to our pan-European same-day delivery network for e-commerce, manufacturing, and pharma.”

Airport Weeze managing director Dr Sebastian Papst added: “We see the opportunity with Dronamics to pioneer an entirely new service that can significantly benefit the local economy and tap into the potential of unmanned cargo aviation by hosting one of the first droneports in Germany.”

As part of the agreements, Dronamics will base its standardised droneport equipment, hire and train local staff to operate and handle the unmanned drone flights.

As part of its ramp-up for commercial operations, the company appoints the seasoned aviation executive Sergio Oliveira e Silva as the new Chief Operating Officer (COO), a new senior management team position.

Sergio joins the organisation from his former position of Managing Director, Asia of a Global aviation services public listed company.

The three newly founded subsidiaries are incorporated in the respective countries as they are leaders in drone regulations, but also are the regions of the first customer cases that will be serviced in e-commerce, pharma and spare parts logistics which will be revealed later this year.

Svilen Rangelov, co-founder & ceo at Dronamics said: “This is an important milestone for us, and we are thrilled by the talent we are attracting to our organisation that is embracing our vision to democratise airfreight. We will continue enhancing our experienced management team who will provide additional expertise to deliver our first commercial flight in a near future.”

Sergio Oliveira e Silva, COO at Dronamics, said: “I’m very much looking forward to being part of the team that will bring into the market the next-generation logistics networks for e-commerce, pharma, agriculture shipments, special cargo, and spare parts. I am excited to be again involved in another successful pioneer venture within the aviation logistics industry”.
