In Helsinki, a new method for the transportation of pharmaceutical products to customers will be tested. In a pilot spanning a week, select products from the Lauttiksen Apteekki pharmacy, located in Lauttasaari, Helsinki, will be delivered via drone to neighboring Jätkäsaari, located 2km away. The aim of the pilot is to gather experience in regards to the suitability of drones for the transport of pharmacy products, and to test the new service concept with customers.
