DroneUp

Former partners had recently downsized a drone delivery network that in 2022 completed more than 6,000 deliveries out of 36 hubs in seven states.

DroneUp says its new permissions will allow it to serve 300 percent more households in its delivery areas.

The decision to cease operations in Arizona, Utah, and Florida comes as the partners hone in on Dallas-Fort Worth as a drone delivery hub.

Through an integration with its partners, the multinational corporation later this month will give Dallas/Fort Worth-based app users the option to order drone delivery.

The DroneUp Ecosystem includes a next-generation drone platform, autonomous software, and ground infrastructure.

The drone delivery company will no longer be required to have a pilot or visual observer watch its aircraft in the sky.

The company, owned by Google parent Alphabet, gave FLYING an inside look at its new service outside Dallas as drone delivery gathers momentum in the U.S.

Both companies have a drone delivery presence in the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area—they’re now joining forces.

A ‘small percentage of the team’ has been let go, according to company CEO Tom Walker.

The partnership with Iris Automation will create a cell tower-like network.
