Key Takeaways:

Walmart and Wing are significantly expanding their drone delivery service to 20 U.S. markets, aiming to serve 10% of the U.S. population by 2027 with ultra-fast deliveries in as little as 30 minutes.
Wing's automated drones, operating with FAA Part 135 authorization, have completed over 1 million deliveries, flying beyond visual line of sight and carrying up to 5 pounds within a 6-mile radius.
The future expansion and standardization of drone delivery depend on the FAA's finalization of its Part 108 rule for beyond visual line of sight operations, which is currently delayed due to pilot concerns.

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.
