Key Takeaways:

Walmart and Wing are significantly expanding their drone delivery service, aiming to serve 10% of the U.S. population (40 million residents) by 2027 through an expansion into seven new markets, bringing their total to 20 U.S. markets.
Wing has already completed over 1 million commercial deliveries using its FAA Part 135 authorized drones, which operate beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) and can deliver packages up to 5 pounds within 30 minutes.
The continued rapid growth and standardization of drone delivery, including Wing's operations, depend on the FAA finalizing its proposed Part 108 rule for BVLOS operations, a process currently facing delays due to pushback 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.
