Texans who were introduced to Amazon Prime Air’s drone delivery offering in late 2022 are pushing back on the company’s proposed expansion of the service.
In a letter to the FAA penned by John Nichols, the mayor of College Station, Texas—one of two locations where Prime Air began flying in 2022—on behalf of the city council he urged the regulator to deny a request that would more than double the service’s range. The mayor cited noise concerns from residents as the chief factor guiding the city’s position.
