Walmart has announced it is significantly expanding its drone delivery service to five major U.S. cities, marking the retailer’s largest roll-out of the technology since launching the program three years ago.
The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retail giant will begin offering drone delivery in Atlanta, Charlotte, Houston, Orlando, and Tampa through its partnership with Wing, a drone delivery provider that operates under Federal Aviation Administration guidelines. The service will be available from 100 Walmart stores across these metropolitan areas.
Wing’s drones can fly beyond visual line of sight with an operational range of up to six miles from each participating store, allowing the company to serve customers across broad geographic areas in each city.
