UPS paves profitable path for drone deliveries as it prepares for nationwide takeoff by Ajshaps
United Parcel Service expects to receive Federal Aviation Administration approval by the end of the year to conduct drone delivery anywhere in the United States.
According to a company press release UPS Flight Forward will be allowed to conduct flight operations beyond line of sight, day or night, with an unlimited number of drones and operators in command once the FAA grants final certification. Other companies like Alphabet subsidiary Wing Aviation have been flying drone delivery test programs with similar restrictions. But Wing Aviation received Part 135 certification from the FAA in April and it plans to expand into commercial home delivery in Southwest Virginia with what it calls, “a delivery trial” later this year.
UPS Flight Forward is in negotiations with 25 hospital systems nationwide and Ganesh said advanced conversations are underway with five systems. “We are laser focused on the user case that is profitable,” he said. The plan to align with health care outlets is “a good use case for us based on the current cost benefit,” he added.
The experience UPS has with airline logistics and its safety record will help it expand the new drone delivery business, Ganesh said.
