Hon Dr MEGAN WOODS: The Airspace Integration Trials programme was established in 2019 with Wisk, a leading international advanced aviation company, to support the trialling of autonomous passenger aircraft in Canterbury. Since then, the programme has received strong interest from both domestic and international companies, despite the impacts of COVID-19. The programme has now grown to have eight industry partners developing autonomous and remotely-piloted aircraft across a range of areas, including environmental monitoring, conservation, agriculture, cargo transport, and medical deliveries.
