The SAMAD Aerospace team have seen interest in its Starling Cargo aircraft from a number of industry sectors that need to transit high value cargo. These include oil and gas corporations, gemstone mining companies, medical logistics and emergency response companies.

The Starling Cargo aircraft can be utilised for delivering humanitarian critical cargo of desperately needed food, medicine and equipment to often remote regions of the world with underdeveloped or damaged local infrastructure.

Available to pre-order now for delivery in Q4 2022, the Starling Cargo will offer an air cargo option faster than conventional travel by utilising locations much closer to the customer’s required point of departure and destination, including remote locations.

With the Starling Cargo aircraft, SAMAD Aerospace aims to revolutionise the way goods fly around the world, making air cargo faster, greener and more sustainable.
