DoorDash is building its own drone delivery business, the company announced Wednesday, after securing federal approval that allows it to operate commercial drone deliveries independently for the first time rather than relying solely on outside partners. The food and grocery delivery giant unveiled the new venture, called DoorDash Air, after receiving a Part 135 air carrier certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration. The company said the drones being developed for DoorDash Air use components primarily sourced from the United States. The company said it will continue working with Alphabet's Wing and Israeli drone company Flytrex even as DoorDash Air comes online. Internal data from DoorDash's existing drone delivery pilot programs has shown encouraging results for participating merchants.
