\nChina\u2019s largest courier, SF Express, has said that it is looking at offering cross-border drone delivery services between Hong Kong and four mainland cities.

Kenny Lau, chief technology officer at SF Express Hong Kong, said that the second stage of the company\u2019s plan would be to expand the service to cover all cities in the Greater Bay Area.
Lau unveiled the plan at a logistics summit where industry players gathered to exchange ideas and views.
He said the firm had already explored the possibility of providing cross-border drone deliveries with the governments of four cities in Guangdong province.
\u201cIn the first stage, it will be 4+1, where we will use Hong Kong as our core base and we will connect with four major cities \u2013 Shenzhen, Dongguan, Guangzhou and Zhuhai \u2013 to carry out low-altitude logistics,\u201d Lau said at the LSCM Logistics Summit at the Hong Kong Science Park.<\/p>\n
