SF gets OK to use drones for air deliveries

Leading delivery company SF Holding Ltd said it has obtained a landmark license from the military authorities to use drones to deliver commercial packages and was conducting the country's first drone pilot demonstration zone.

The airspace application made by SF, and the government of Nankang district in the city of Ganzhou, was approved by the Eastern Theater Command, one of the five national military commands.

The flying range covers five counties in Nankang district and Ganzhou city in Jiangxi province. The first pilot flight, in the first pilot demonstration zone, was conducted last Thursday.
