Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com said Thursday it will build 150 airports for unmanned aerial vehicle delivery in southwestern province of Sichuan.

中国电商巨头京东商城周四表示，该公司将在四川省建设150座机场用于无人机派件。

JD.com CEO Richard Liu said the airports are expected to open in three years and the drone delivery will help reduce the freight costs by 70 percent.

The drone service will deliver Sichuan's products to shoppers nationwide within 24 hours and will improve delivery efficiency in remote mountainous areas in Sichuan, Liu added.

JD.com has been developing drone delivery to meet the rising retail¹ demand in China's rural areas, where complex terrain² and underdeveloped infrastructure³ have compromised timely human courier delivery.

JD.com said its drones, which can carry 50 kilograms of parcels, have been put into use and drones that can carry 500 kilograms are in the pipeline⁴.

The company's drone delivery project has received approvals in some provinces, and planning of air routes began in May.
