Viking Drone Packaging gets a UK VCA recommendation for a radiopharmaceutical container

Viking Drone Packaging announced that the UK's Vehicle Certification Agency issued a Letter of Recommendation for its crash-protected RPAS container intended for radiopharmaceutical transport.

Operators evaluating medical routes should map packaging approval, dangerous-goods rules, chain of custody and aircraft approval as separate compliance layers.
