Amazon Nears Approval to Expand Drone Delivery Across Darlington
Yahoo Finance ·
US retail titan Amazon is on the verge of securing regulatory clearance to broaden its drone delivery operations to the entirety of Darlington, UK. Having commenced limited flights in February covering a 7.5-mile radius from its County Durham facility, the company has completed over 500 flights and is now seeking Civil Aviation Authority approval to serve the whole town. David Carbon, vice-president of Prime Air, stated that permission is anticipated very soon, with a long-term goal of rolling out the service nationwide. Currently, eligible customers with gardens or driveways can receive items weighing under 5lb within two hours. Regarding a July drone crash in a local garden, executives emphasized that the aircraft performed safely as designed, maintaining that overall incident rates remain extremely low while safety standards strictly align with regulatory frameworks.
