Swoop Aero – Aircraft Builder Unmanned systems

Swoop Aero was founded to transform how the world moves essential supplies by making access to the skies seamless. We were the first company globally to deliver a vaccine using a drone under a commercial contract. Since then, we have expanded globally, transforming the health supply chain with drone logistics operations in four countries. We have big plans to shift the paradigm in both developing and developed markets alike, by deploying both our fully managed logistics service into the health supply chain and providing selected partners with our technology platform to further expand their impact.

To deliver on our vision, we’ve brought together a team of eternally optimistic and resourceful ‘doers’ to tackle these seemingly insurmountable problems and make our aspirational goals a reality.
