Drone package delivery is real and operating in a growing set of places, though it is far from everywhere. On DEPLOY's record, the active operators are Zipline, Wing (Alphabet), Amazon Prime Air, Matternet, Flytrex, and Wingcopter. Coverage splits into two kinds. In Africa, Zipline runs national medical-delivery networks in Rwanda and Ghana, and Wingcopter flies medical supplies in Malawi.

In wealthy markets, delivery is metro-by-metro: Amazon Prime Air around Phoenix and College Station, Texas; Wing and Zipline delivering Walmart and DoorDash orders in the Dallas-Fort Worth area and other US metros; Flytrex in the Dallas suburbs; and Matternet moving hospital samples for the NHS in London, for UPS in the US, and for Swiss Post in Switzerland. Each entry below is a dated, sourced record, and where a service has ended (as Wing's early Australia operation has) the page says so rather than leaving it live.

Where drone delivery is live

One row per verified deployment, each dated and sourced. Coverage splits between national medical networks in a few African countries and metro-by-metro retail and healthcare services in wealthier markets. The sidewalk (ground) delivery answer lives on where delivery robots operate.

Amazon

In November 2024 Amazon launched Prime Air drone delivery service in Tolleson, Arizona using its new MK30 drone, covering the West Valley Phoenix Metro Area. The Tolleson Same-Day Delivery site was the first facility to integrate same-day fulfillment with Prime Air drone operations in a single location. Customers within the delivery radius can receive items weighing 5 lb or less in under an hour. The MK30 is Amazon's third-generation delivery drone: it is fully electric, quieter than its predecessors, flies twice as far, and received FAA approval for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) operations. Amazon also operates Prime Air drone delivery in College Station, Texas. The program is self-operated by Amazon under an FAA Part 135 air carrier certificate.

How we know this

Common questions

Which companies deliver by drone?
On DEPLOY's record the active package-delivery drone operators are Zipline, Wing (owned by Alphabet), Amazon Prime Air, Matternet, Flytrex, and Wingcopter. Zipline and Wingcopter focus on medical delivery, Amazon and Flytrex on retail and restaurant orders, Wing on retail via Walmart and DoorDash, and Matternet on hospital-sample logistics. Each has dated, sourced deployments in the table above.
Can Amazon deliver packages by drone?
Yes, in specific places. On DEPLOY's record Amazon Prime Air runs same-day drone delivery around the West Valley of Phoenix (from a site in Tolleson, Arizona) using its MK30 drone, and it has operated in College Station, Texas. It is a metro-by-metro rollout, not a nationwide service, and the record notes an MK30 that crashed in Richardson, Texas, so this is a live but still-limited program.
Where does Zipline deliver?
Zipline runs national medical-delivery drone networks in Rwanda (since 2016) and Ghana, and has expanded into US retail and healthcare delivery, including Walmart orders in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas and prescription delivery for US health systems. A November 2025 US State Department contract is set to widen its African network further. Every Zipline entry on this page is dated and sourced.
Is drone delivery available everywhere?
No. Drone delivery is live in a limited and specific set of places, not nationwide anywhere in the US. It runs as national medical networks in a few African countries and as metro-by-metro pilots and services in parts of the US, the UK, Switzerland, Ireland, and Australia. DEPLOY tracks each verified deployment as a dated, sourced record and does not claim coverage it cannot show, so a place that is not on this page is not on our record yet.
What can delivery drones actually carry?
It depends on the operator. Medical operators like Zipline, Matternet, and Wingcopter carry blood, vaccines, prescriptions, and diagnostic samples, often between hospitals or to clinics. Retail operators like Amazon Prime Air, Wing, and Flytrex carry small consumer orders, typically up to a few pounds, from a store or restaurant to a nearby home. This page tracks where each operates; the per-model specs live on each drone's record.
