They did it with a number of passenger flights utilizing a Cessna C208B Caravan recently. The aircraft is supervised remotely who communicate with Air Traffic Control to ensure the safety of the aircraft and its cargo or occupants.
  2. Xwing suggests that, "by integrating onboard flight control systems that allow the aircraft to navigate, take off and land autonomously, ensuring more cost-effective operations for logistic companies." The company wants to also start commercial cargo flights soon and has applied for and obtained a Part 135 Air Carrier certificate to do so. The company also wants to deploy the technology wider in its fleet and use that as a marketing tool and further in the future open the technology to a wider audience with partnerships or licensing of the technology.
