Amazon drone service flying toward Phoenix area

Amazon customers in the West Valley Phoenix metro area will have the option of drone delivery service later this year.

It’s Amazon’s latest drone service effort since it launched the delivery channel in Texas and California two years ago, according to an Amazon announcement.

In 2023, it began delivering prescription medications in partnership with Amazon Pharmacy to customers in College Station, Texas.

“We’ve received great feedback from customers and communities as we roll out the service,” Amazon said.

Amazon is working with the Federal Aviation Administration and local officials in Tolleson to obtain all necessary permits to make deliveries in Tolleson.

“Once we have received all necessary approvals, we will begin reaching out to customers in the West Valley so they can receive drone deliveries when the service goes live later this year,” Amazon said.

The omnichannel retailer is slowing the completion of California’s drone program in Lockeford, according to a CNBC report.
