Deliveroo, the on-demand delivery platform, launched drone deliveries in Dublin this week. Through a new partnership with Manna, a global drone delivery operator, the service is designed to improve the customer experience. The service is based in Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, with Deliveroo conducting a test phase over the coming weeks. “Our mission is to bring local neighbourhood favourites to as many people’s doors as possible, and constantly raise the bar on the experience and service we provide, so I’m thrilled to launch drone deliveries in Dublin today,” said Carlo Mocci, chief business officer at Deliveroo. Drones will be deployed from Manna’s local delivery hub, flying at speeds of up to 80 km/h, with a flight time of as little as three minutes.
