Kızılay Agrees with Terra Drone Turkey for Emergency Deliveries and Medical Supplies

According to a statement announced by Terra Drone Turkey, an agreement was signed with Red Crescent Logistics (Kızılay), the world's leading logistics company in the distribution of medical supplies and blood. Thus, Kızılay will benefit from cargo planes for emergency deliveries and distribution of medical supplies.

This agreement, which officially records the mutual interests of both companies, will remain valid for 3 years. The Red Crescent will benefit from Terra Drone Turkey's Vertical Station, infrastructure and various UAVs. On the other hand, Terra Drone Turkey will have the opportunity to expand with the cooperation it has established with the Red Crescent.

Established in July 2020, Kızılay Logistics aims to provide logistic support to Kızılay activities and create financial benefits. Turkish Red Crescent President Kerem Kınık, in his speech in Antalya 2 years ago, actually expressed his tendencies towards this issue. Kınık stated that they were doing R&D for 'drone' technology in blood transfusion. This agreement, which took place on March 30, showed us the importance and determination that Kızılay attaches to its work in line with the vision they announced 2 years ago. Expressing that their goal is to be the first in the world, the spokesperson of the Red Crescent said that they will put into use the most up-to-date and widespread corporate automation system in this direction.

Terra Drone Turkey Business Development Senior Director Cenk Yıldız also made a statement on the subject. Yıldız stated that Terra Drone Corporation, which was established in Japan in 2016, is one of the largest drone service providers in the world. He also said that Terra Drone's core strategy is to combine the latest technology with local know-how by acquiring the best local drone service providers globally.
