The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism\u200b and the Ministry of Environment\u200b plan to examine the efficiency of delivery services in depopulated areas. Participating regions will receive \u00a53 million in financial support. Local governments and businesses will work together to establish flight paths for the drones, which will carry customer packages through the air and on to their doorstep. The aim is to carry out the experiment by the end of the year.
