Drone Delivery Canada (DDC) has received official approval from Transport Canada for beyond visual line-of-sight (BVLOS) flights in the Golden Horseshoe/Southern Ontario area, allowing them to transport Class 7 dangerous goods. This approval follows DDC's previous experience delivering medical radioisotopes by drone. The company worked closely with various regulatory authorities to address safety concerns and ensure compliance with existing regulatory frameworks. DDC views this approval as a significant milestone in advancing RPAS operations and expects it to enhance public understanding and acceptance of drone delivery operations. DDC plans to explore unique opportunities in different regions of Canada, including supporting remote and first nation communities and improving the quality of medical care by transporting critical medical supplies.
