Air India, eVTOL aircraft developer SkyDrive and Suzuki Motor Corporation have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to explore the use of electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft for medical air logistics in India. The feasibility study will examine how eVTOL technology could support the transport of time-critical medical supplies, helping to overcome severe traffic congestion in India’s major cities and improve last-mile emergency medical logistics. “The potential application of eVTOL aircraft for medical air logistics is particularly compelling because it combines technology and purpose, helping to reduce critical transit times when every minute can make a difference.” Tomohiro Fukuzawa, founder and chief executive of SkyDrive, said the partnership marks a step towards transforming medical logistics in India. “In India, where chronic congestion is a pressing issue, utilising eVTOLs for advanced medical logistics – including the transport of high-value, time-critical medical supplies – will reshape medical infrastructure,” he said.
