Description

About Swoop Aero:

Swoop Aero was founded to transform how the world moves by making access to the skies seamless.

We were the first company globally to deliver a vaccine using a drone under a commercial contract, and since then, we've expanded globally, moving the needle on how healthcare is delivered for millions of people across the world.


Now we're aiming higher by deploying the newest infrastructure layer for society, one that will catalyse the next giant leap in how essential supplies and services are delivered; integrated drone logistics.


Whether it's medical transport, environmental monitoring, search and rescue, mapping, disaster response, or general transport, you can trust us to deliver.

Everyone has the right to benefit from new technology, and at Swoop Aero we're excited because integrated drone logistics can be deployed equitably in low, middle, and high income countries alike.
