San Paulo, Brazil – We are delighted to announce the participation of Orkid as the latest member of Drone Logistics Ecosystem (DLE). Orkid is an aerospace startup, Democratizing access to aerospace-grade, certified VTOL technology for efficient, cost-effective, clean on-demand drone delivery. Orkid develops certified and affordable VTOL drone technology so that any logistics operator, marketplace or drone operator worldwide can offer safe and sustainable drone delivery services to their customers. Orkid was founded to revolutionize the delivery landscape, making it faster, more sustainable, and ready for the future. With urban traffic set to increase by 30% by 2030, last-mile emissions reaching 25 million tonnes of CO2, and skyrocketing delivery costs due to increased demand for faster deliveries, traditional transportation methods are no longer viable. The company mission is to empower logistics operators, marketplaces, and drone operators to offer affordable, safe and sustainable state-of-the-art drone delivery services to their customers.
We have partnered with the largest logistics operators and marketplaces in LATAM, and we are rapidly expanding our global footprint with drone operators worldwide. The industry faces two significant bottlenecks: regulatory hurdles and high costs. Orkid is breaking through these barriers with our affordable, certified VTOL drones. We are on the brink of achieving type certification in Brazil with ANAC, one of the top three civil aviation authorities globally. This milestone will expedite regulatory approvals for BVLOS operations worldwide, allowing our partners to operate seamlessly across borders. Our competitive pricing structure makes our drones a viable alternative to traditional transportation methods, enabling profitable drone delivery operations with robust unit economics. By partnering with the Drone Logistics Ecosystem, we are poised to reach new clients globally and attract new investors, solidifying our position as a leader in the drone delivery industry. Orkid is ready to transform the future of delivery,” said Mr. Diego Pinzon Paz, Chief Operating Officer of Orkid.
