From Streets to Skies: Port Authority Launches Yearlong Drone Cargo Trial Over East River

The Port Authority of NY & NJ and Skyports Drone Services have launched a groundbreaking 12-month trial to transport light cargo via uncrewed aircraft between Lower Manhattan and the Brooklyn Marine Terminal. Operating entirely over water to reduce street congestion and emissions, this FAA-approved pilot aims to revolutionize middle-mile logistics, focusing on the rapid delivery of medical supplies and the future of sustainable urban transit.
