Are You Ready for Amazon Drones?

Last week the FAA granted Amazon Prime Delivery the designation of “air carrier”, allowing them to begin Delivery Trials in the US.

“This certification is an important step forward for Prime Air and indicates the FAA’s confidence in Amazon’s operating and safety procedures for an autonomous drone delivery service that will one day deliver packages to our customers around the world,” David Carbon, an Amazon vice president, said in a statement.

Amazon is not the first drone operator to receive FAA approval. Alphabet subsidiary Wing and UPS are also operating FAA-approved trials. It will be interesting to see who will win the Air Delivery Wars.
