The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works is studying ways to use the technology of drones in postal services, in the context of the continuous effort to upgrade and modernize the services offered by Cyprus Postal Services.
In this context, the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works, Mr. Yiannis Karousos, had the opportunity today to attend a demonstration of a pilot drone flight that took place in the framework of a European Programme with the participation of six countries. As Mr. Karousos said, the environment and needs in postal services are constantly changing due to rapid technological development. Postal Services worldwide are now required to adapt the services they offer to citizens, incorporating new technologies that make the service to citizens better and faster.
In his statements after the demonstration, referring to the annulment of the decision to autonomize the Cyprus Postal Services, the Minister of Transport, Communications and Works pointed out that it was evaluated how the Cyprus Postal Services can be upgraded and reorganized as part of the Government. Technology and innovation, Karousos said, are an important part of this effort, stressing that the full digitalisation of their services is already underway.
According to the Minister, in the context of the strategy to modernise the services of the Cyprus Postal Services and recognising that drones are an important technological development, ways are being studied to integrate them as a possible alternative or complementary method of handling postal activities in Cyprus, such as specialised postal services.
