ITOCHU plans to integrate multiple simultaneously operating delivery drones into the conventional ground-based supply network in the future, thus helping to maintain a sustainable medical system, even in the event of labor shortages and emergencies in times of crisis. In addition, the company aims to introduce a commercial drone delivery service, in which the Wingcopter 198 will be used, among other things, to deliver high-priority medical and pharmaceutical products.

In March 2024, Wingcopter, with the support of ITOCHU, had applied for type certification in Japan for the Wingcopter 198 and was the first foreign company to be accepted for the type certification process by the Japan Civil Aviation Bureau (JCAB) of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. A successful completion of the process would allow commercial flights beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and over inhabited areas.
