Drones could deliver medical supplies under UK travel watchdog plans

CAA proposes allowing operators to fly drones at low heights beyond the line of sight

Drones could be used for critical medical deliveries, as well as for inspections of railways, power lines and roads, under proposals put forward by the UK's air travel watchdog.

The proposals, set out in a consultation published on Monday by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA), would allow operators to fly their drones safely beyond the line of sight.
