Drone delivery in USA: Mesa Air partners Flirtey
Mesa Air Group has signed an agreement with aerospace technology company Flirtey to order four delivery drones, with an option to order an additional 500 aircraft. With this agreement, Mesa becomes the first scheduled airline to launch drone deliveries in USA.
The immediate goal of the partnership is to conduct commercial drone deliveries in the last-mile food and beverage market in the country. More drone services are to follow at a later date.
"Mesa is excited to partner with Flirtey to become the first scheduled airline to launch drone deliveries in USA. It is a huge market and it's here now. This is the future of the small package last mile delivery business," said Mesa chairman and CEO Jonathan Ornstein. (cj)
