Air mail: Orkney residents to receive post by drone

The UK's first drone delivery service which can be conducted on a permanent basis has been launched in Orkney to provide locals with their mail.

Royal Mail and Skyports Drone Services have launched the service to deliver letters and parcels from the Mainland to the islands of Graemsay and Hoy.

While the service will initially operate for three months, it could be continued on a permanent basis under existing regulatory frameworks due to Orkney's unique landscape and the proximity of the islands to one another.

The drone service is expected to significantly improve service levels and delivery times to Graemsay and Hoy, as weather and geography can cause disruption to delivery services.
