Dubai,UAE- Food delivery is entering a new phase in Dubai with Silicon Central Mall serving as the launchpad for Keeta Drone’s aerial delivery service, introducing an innovative era of airborne food and beverage delivery.
Following regulatory approval from the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority (DCAA), Keeta Drone has commenced operations from Silicon Central Mall, connecting customers in eligible areas surrounding Dubai Silicon Oasis (DSO) with participating food and beverage brands through its drone delivery network.
Customers can place eligible food and beverage delivery orders directly through the Keeta app, which will be transported by Keeta Drone from Silicon Central Mall to designated collection points. Orders can be collected from lockers located at RIT or the Emirates Building in DSO.
In selected areas of DSO, Keeta’s rider collaboration model also enables orders to be delivered directly to customers’ homes, combining drone transportation with traditional last-mile delivery where required.
The service offers customers a range of food and beverage options including desserts, Italian and Indian cuisine, among others. The participating portfolio features local, regional and international F&B brands.
