DoorDash Gets FAA Nod to Run Its Own Drone Delivery Program
['About Our Expert']

DoorDash already provides drone delivery in parts of Charlotte, Dallas–Fort Worth, Virginia, and metro Atlanta using Wing’s drones.
With the FAA certification, DoorDash will build and operate its own drones under a new program called DoorDash Air.
With drones, DoorDash says it hopes to speed up midrange deliveries, as finding human Dashers for those deliveries takes about 25% longer than for shorter trips.
The FAA nod is just the first step for DoorDash Air, however.
The dedicated unit will now have to build drones and test them out before making them available for delivery.
