LONDON – 02 Аugust 2023 – Dronamics, the world’s first cargo drone airline, announced the appointment of Gavin Gomes as General Manager, Dronamics Australia and a member of the senior management team, effective August 1st, as the company prepares to strengthen its presence in the Asia Pacific region.

Gavin’s passion for aviation and extensive leadership experience will help further establish Dronamics in Australia, a market where the company has had a presence since 2020.

With a number of commercial partnerships for the local market, Dronamics’ long-range, high payload cargo drone operations can be a game-changer for industries including perishables, mail, pharma, e-commerce and mining.
“Australia has demonstrated an enormous appetite for what Dronamics can offer – faster, more affordable, lower emissions freight, connecting underserved and remote communities and businesses through cargo drone logistics. We are committed to serving the needs of the local market and we are thrilled to have Gavin’s experience and expertise to support that, ’’
Svilen Rangelov, Co-Founder and CEO of Dronamics.
