What Jedsy does

Jedsy (legally Delivery Glider AG, headquartered in Sevelen, Switzerland, with corporate registration in Liechtenstein) is a drone delivery technology company founded in 2021 by aerospace engineer and pilot Herbert Weirather and three-time Aerobatic Helicopters World Cup champion Mirko Cesena. The company designs, manufactures, and operates an integrated delivery system centered on the Jedsy X — a hybrid eVTOL/fixed-wing unmanned aircraft with 120 km range, 118-minute endurance, 3 kg payload, and SAIL III certification authorizing operations over densely populated areas. Its proprietary Jedsy Mailbox serves as a window- or balcony-mounted docking, charging, and notification station enabling autonomous 60-second launch readiness and decentralized route architectures.

The company's commercial focus is medical logistics — primarily time-critical transport of laboratory samples, blood products, medicines, and vaccines between hospitals, laboratories, and rural health centers. It holds operational authorizations from Swiss FOCA, German LBA, and Austrian Austrocontrol, and counts Asklepios Kliniken (Germany, 170+ facilities), Dr. Risch Group (Switzerland, 22 locations), and Malawi's Ministry of Health among its named customers. As of March 2025 the company reported over 14,000 completed flights and had signed agreements for 190 routes across Europe by May 2024.

Jedsy operates a dual revenue model combining managed drone delivery services in home markets with hardware (drone and Mailbox) sales and certification support to channel partners such as Helisul in Brazil (committed to 500+ units and approximately $26M by 2026) and Garuda Aerospace in India. Manufacturing is conducted at Jedsy Factory Malawi at a stated capacity of one drone per week. Pricing is enterprise-contract based and not publicly disclosed. Notable backers include Conny & Co. (Cornelius Boersch), Up Partners (Ben Marcus), and serial entrepreneurs Mikhail Kokorich and Pau Serracanta.

Revenue model

1. Medical Drone Delivery Services: Jedsy generates revenue by charging healthcare providers (hospitals, laboratories, government health ministries) for time-critical medical delivery services. Pricing is based on routes, delivery urgency, and frequency. The service replaces car-based courier services. A multi-million dollar deal with Asklepios (Germany) represents a flagship commercial contract. Revenue is service-based, recurring per delivery or via subscription-style route contracts.
2. Hardware Sales – Drones (Jedsy X) & Mailboxes: Jedsy manufactures and sells delivery drones (Jedsy X) and Mailbox docking stations to partners. Helisul (Brazil) committed to purchasing 1 glider and 3 Mailboxes initially, with plans to procure over 500 Jedsy Gliders by 2026 ($26 million investment). The company operates a manufacturing facility in Lilongwe, Malawi, producing one drone per week at full capacity.
3. Regulatory Certification & Documentation Services: Jedsy provides country-specific documentation, simulator support, and training for ANAC certification (Brazil) enabling Helisul to offer delivery services. This includes modifications, sensor integration, and pilot/maintenance staff education.
