Redwing, a developer of Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) drones, has acquired the assets of Swedish drone delivery company Aerit, marking its entry into the European market and expanding its drone logistics capabilities. The acquisition includes Aerit’s autonomous flight technology and machine learning-based flight routing systems, strengthening Redwing’s operational portfolio.
Aerit previously collaborated with Foodora in 2024 and operated food drone deliveries in Sweden under EASA’s SAIL II permits. Aerit was founded by engineers from Spotify, Scania Group, and doctoral researchers. It was the first company to complete commercial food drone deliveries in Sweden.
Through this acquisition, Redwing gains access to Aerit’s flight system known as “Stewie,” along with operational expertise that supports scaling drone logistics. Redwing has previously completed more than 300,000 kilometers of BVLOS flights, operating in varied weather and terrains, including rain, hills, and coastal winds.
“The acquisition of Aerit is a pivotal step for Redwing, expanding the BVLOS portfolio & improving ML-based flight routing capabilities alongside EASA regulatory headway. By combining Aerit’s innovative technology and European market presence with Redwing’s deep expertise in scalable, autonomous drone logistics, we are excited to complete this acquisition process,” said Anshul Sharma, co-founder of Redwing.
Redwing is a BVLOS drone company based in Bangalore. It designs, builds, and operates long-distance drones for logistics and other applications. The Redwing team has received 12 awards across the US and Asia-Pacific through collegiate competitions and has been recognized by NASA, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Airbus.
