How DoorDash Plans to Build Drone Delivery Business

DoorDash is launching an entirely new aerial delivery business, dubbed “Air,” marking a significant expansion into logistics and transportation services. This ambitious venture directly follows the recent approval granted by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Specifically, the FAA issued Part 135 air carrier authorization, allowing DoorDash Air to operate as an air carrier. The company intends to utilize drones for this service, focusing initially on deliveries within select markets. DoorDash anticipates that this strategic move will enhance its existing delivery capabilities and cater to evolving customer demands for faster shipping options.
