DJI drones score US wins as trade war with China takes a toll


The US$1,999 (RM8,360) Mavic 2 is aimed squarely at an enterprise segment that accounts for more than half of a US$9bil (RM37.6bil) market.

DJI, the world’s top seller of drones for consumers, has snagged a pair of wins in its effort to court businesses.

SZ DJI Technology Co Ltd said its latest industrial gadget – the Mavic 2 – will soon survey power grids for Southern Co, while American Airlines Group Inc will test the craft for plane inspections. Those are important alliances for the Chinese company, which is grappling with a US government shut-out, a potentially damaging patent lawsuit and rising American tariffs.
