First in Tokyo, Drone to Cross Eitai Bridge and Other Bridges
in Pharmaceutical Delivery Experiment-Looking ahead to Level 4, aiming for a society where medicines can be delivered by drone on a daily basisJapan Airlines Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, President: AKASAKA Yuji, Representative
Director; hereinafter JAL), KDDI Corporation (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, President: TAKAHASHI
Makoto, hereinafter KDDI), Weathernews Inc. (Headquarters: Chiba City, Chiba Prefecture, President:KUSABIRAKI Chihito), Terra Drone Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: TOKUSHIGEToru), and East Japan Railway Company (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, President: FUKASAWA Yuji) willconduct a demonstration experiment from February 8 to February 10, 2022, (hereinafter "this demonstration")for the first time in Tokyo using a drone to cross several major bridges, including the Eitai Bridge over theSumida River, as part of the "Social Implementation Project for Drone Logistics Platform in Tokyo" (*1) adopted
by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
This is a demonstration experiment in anticipation of the "unassisted, non-visual flight in a manned zone
(Level 4 flight)," which is scheduled to come into effect by fiscal 2022, and aims to realize a society that can
provide immediate, on-demand transportation in times of emergency and disaster, and deliver medicines ona daily basis, regardless of road congestion.

＜Drone flying over the Sumida River＞＜Picking up the package＞

In this demonstration, the flight route over the Sumida River was selected to minimize risk in preparation
for the flight in Tokyo, one of the world's most densely populated areas with a population of approximately
14 million. By utilizing JAL's operational and safety know-how related to air travel and KDDI's flightmanagement system, sufficient safety management was carried out and a flight system was established toenable demonstration.

Through this demonstration, we will verify operability and businessability closer to real life and contributeto the social implementation of drones.
【Outline of this demonstration】
1．Date： Feb. 8, 2022 to Feb. 10, 2022 (preliminary date: Feb. 15/16, 2022)
2．Flight Route：
Assuming a delivery from MEDICEO Shin Tokyo Building to St. Luke's International Hospital, it will fly
about 2.0 km over the Sumida River, crossing three bridges from point A (near the Sumida River Bridge) topoint B (near the Tsukuda Bridge).

＜Flight Route＞

3．Drone Aircraft： ACSL-PF2（ACSL）
4．Contents of verification①Quality Management…Based on the government's "Guidelines for drone delivery to pharmaceuticals"(*2)
Verify temperature changes and fixation conditions during delivery②Delivery Times…Verify the number of deliveries that can be made per day per aircraft by conducting
multi-frequency operations.
③Feasibility of On-demand Delivery…Verify the time and process required from order to delivery
5．Cooperating Companies
MEDICEO CORPORATION…Assistance in verifying pharmaceutical delivery business model, pharmaceutical transportation advisor
St. Luke's International University, St. Luke's International Hospital…Cooperation in verification of pharmaceutical delivery business model※The demonstration will be conducted after thorough countermeasures against infection by the new coronavirus are taken. In addition, dependingon the status of the infection in Tokyo, there is a possibility that the content of the demonstration will be changed.

■JAL's Approach
JAL has so far conducted a demonstration experiment assuming the delivery of pharmaceuticals in SumotoCity, Hyogo Prefecture, a densely populated area(*3), and a joint study with MEDICEO CORPORATION on
the transport of pharmaceuticals using drones.(*4) In the future, we will utilize the knowledge gained from thisdemonstration to solve issues in overall pharmaceutical logistics, including the transportation ofpharmaceuticals from hospitals and pharmacies to those who actually need them. By utilizing drones, we willcontribute to the establishment of a new logistics network that can quickly and efficiently deliver medicinesthat are familiar and important to people's lives.
■KDDI's ApproachKDDI hopes to realize a world in which drones fly autonomously and help people through the smart dronethat are compatible with mobile communications.
We are working together with our customers in the fields of logistics, surveillance, inspection, surveying,and agriculture to realize each of these ideas, such as delivering packages to the elderly who cannot go
shopping, taking over dangerous tasks that put lives at risk, and automating agricultural work so that we canpass on our precious fields to the next generation, while paying attention to how we can be of service toothers.
