Key Takeaways:

Walmart, in partnership with Alphabet's Wing, is significantly expanding its drone delivery service to 20 U.S. markets, aiming to serve 10% of the U.S. population by 2027.
Wing's drones provide rapid deliveries (as little as 30 minutes) for packages up to 5 pounds, operating under FAA Part 135 authorization and having completed over 1 million commercial deliveries.
Future growth and expansion of drone delivery are contingent on the FAA's finalization of the Part 108 rule for standardized beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, which has faced delays due to concerns from traditional pilots.

Walmart—which owns the nation’s largest drone delivery service through a partnership with Alphabet’s Wing—this week announced plans to extend its operations in Texas and Georgia to seven new markets amid a push to serve 10 percent of the U.S. population by 2027.

The partners in January revealed ambitious plans to offer drone delivery out of 270 Walmart locations, announcing they would bring Wing drones to Los Angeles, Miami, St. Louis, and Cincinnati. That came a few months after they laid plans for operations in Atlanta—which launched in December—Charlotte, North Carolina, where Wing has a service with DoorDash, and Orlando and Tampa, Florida.
