Japan has run a cargo-carrying drone test in the first government-designated air corridor north of Tokyo.<\/p>\n

The 150-kilometer route runs along power lines and a dam in the mountainous Chichibu area of Saitama Prefecture.<\/p>\n

The corridor is one of two opened in March last year as part of government projects to tap digital technologies.<\/p>\n

The test on Thursday involved a drone carrying a container of water about 1 kilometer to the other side of the dam.<\/p>\n

The route is currently used for maintenance of power lines, but local businesses also want to use it.<\/p>\n

One local company official said businesses hope to use drones to move products between factories as the region faces a labor shortage. The drones may also be used for bridge inspections.<\/p>\n
