Alphabet-owned drone delivery unit Wing is launching its commercial service in the US. Following its Air Carrier Certificate approval from the Federal Aviation Administration earlier in the year, the company has partnered with FedEx Express and Sugar Magnolia for the pilot. The first delivery will be made in Virginia, where Sugar Magnolia will become the first US retailer to complete a store-to-customer home delivery by drone. Wing is also collaborating with Virginia-based confectionery retailer Walgreens to demonstrate the efficacy of last-mile e-commerce deliveries by drone.
