Wing expands its drone delivery service to the Bay Area


Wing’s drone deliveries are coming full circle after adding Bay Area to its service locations. The drone delivery startup has been rapidly expanding to metro areas across the US, but is now targeting the tech-friendly Silicon Valley region.

Going back to its inaugural deliveries, Wing ferried office supplies across Google’s Mountain View campus in the Bay Area with its automated drones. It was still a startup out of Google’s X, The Moonshot Factory incubator at the time, but early users were already asking for home delivery services, according to Wing. Now, Wing’s latest delivery drones can deliver groceries, food, or whatever else fits in a small package weighing up to five pounds in 30 minutes or less to Bay Area residents.

It may not be that common to spot a Wing drone yet, but the company expanded its service to 150 more Walmart locations across the US, including Los Angeles, St. Louis, Cincinnati and Miami, earlier this year. The drone delivery company also extended its hours of operation to 9 AM to 9 PM in its Charlotte and Dallas-Fort Worth metros, with approval from the Federal Aviation Administration. Beyond the recent Bay Area expansion, Wing has previously mentioned Orlando and Tampa as potential markets to enter.
