Deployment

Flytrex, an Israeli-founded, US-operating company led by chief executive and co-founder Yariv Bash, runs an on-demand suburban food and retail drone-delivery service integrated with the DoorDash app in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas and North Carolina. Its new Sky2 drone carries up to 8.8 pounds, which it bills as the largest food-delivery payload, and enabled the first two-large-pizza drone delivery with Little Caesars in April 2026. Its verified gating event is an FAA beyond-visual-line-of-sight authorization received on August 13, 2025, described as making Flytrex only the fourth US company to earn it, alongside Wing, Amazon, and Zipline, which enables one-to-many remote operation from a central operations center in place of per-drone visual observers. Its operating model is a captive service: Flytrex flies its own routes and runs the delivery service through DoorDash rather than selling drones to third parties, in contrast to XAG's hardware-sales model and Percepto's captive robotics-as-a-service. The registry records it at early, scaling commercial maturity, since genuine FAA BVLOS clearance plus a live paid consumer service in two states clears the gate, while it remains geographically limited. Company figures such as more than 200,000 deliveries and a plan to reach 100 million Americans across 37 metro areas are cap-flagged as company-sourced or forward-looking, the exact scope of the BVLOS approval is ambiguous between nationwide and operating-area-scoped, and the Part 108 BVLOS rule remained proposed as of mid-2026 so operations run on Part 107 authorization.
