The Laila uncrewed aircraft being developed by Odys Aviation will test experimental cargo flights in unpopulated areas of Oman.

Odys Aviation and Honeywell have signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop ground control stations to support the rollout of Odys Aviation's uncrewed, hybrid-electric VTOL aircraft, called Laila, in the Middle East and Pacific regions.

Honeywell and Odys plan to launch a pilot program with Laila and the new ground control stations next year. The partners designed Laila to deliver cargo up to 230 miles, which makes it a good candidate for applications such as pipeline inspections, leak detection, geological surveys, maritime operations, and logistics services, according to Odys.
