  • Urgent samples from Guy's Hospital and St Thomas' Hospital are planned to fly to Synnovis' Blackfriars laboratory hub this autumn.
  • Matternet aircraft are identified for the expanded service.
  • The September announcement is a partnership and rollout plan; it does not state that the expanded routes are already operating.
