Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Keeta Drones to boost drone delivery operations

The Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA) has taken a significant step towards enhancing the emirate’s position as a global aviation hub by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Keeta Drones.

The agreement focuses on advancing drone-based delivery services in Dubai, with an emphasis on ensuring the highest levels of safety and security in the skies, in line with local laws, regulations, and international standards.

The MoU was signed by Mohammed Abdullah Lengawi, director general of DCAA, and Dr  Yinian Mao, chairman of Keeta Drones.

The collaboration will focus on three key areas: evaluating infrastructure requirements for designated drone operation zones, reviewing airspace needs, and addressing safety and security considerations to support efficient and secure drone deliveries across the city.

Lengawi highlighted the importance of the partnership in supporting Dubai’s ambitious vision for the future of aviation.

He stated, “This collaboration underscores DCAA’s commitment to realising Dubai’s leadership vision by enabling drone-based delivery services and providing innovative infrastructure that allows companies to test their solutions in a safe and model environment.”

He further emphasised the authority’s focus on creating a regulatory framework that enhances safety and security while promoting operational efficiency and investment.

Lengawi added, “The authority is dedicated to elevating airspace security and safety standards across Dubai, while creating a business-friendly environment that attracts foreign investments. Our goal is to leave a lasting impact on the future of the aviation industry, positioning Dubai as a leader in cutting-edge technologies.”

Keeta Drones will help expedite drone delivery routes

Dr Mao expressed enthusiasm about the long-term nature of the partnership, noting that the collaboration will help accelerate the company’s expansion in Dubai. “With DCAA’s support, Keeta Drones will be able to expedite the establishment of drone delivery routes across Dubai, expand our services, and explore innovative initiatives,” Mao said.

The MoU also emphasises the importance of joint coordination between DCAA and Keeta Drones to ensure the safe integration of drone operations within Dubai’s airspace.

Keeta Drones will operate within designated zones and adhere to all regulatory requirements set forth by the DCAA.

The authority will also support the company by facilitating communication with relevant government entities to establish new drone flight paths, helping to grow the low-altitude aviation sector in the emirate.

The collaboration further solidifies DCAA’s ongoing efforts to regulate drone operations in Dubai, contributing to the emirate’s broader goal of fostering innovative and secure transportation solutions.
