Drone operator Wing hopes to expand its partnerships with the owners of shopping centres, which make ideal sites for drone “nests”.
Wing and DoorDash have partnered to deliver items to Logan residents by drone.
Those orders come in through the Wing app, or via the DoorDash app. Once the order is placed, it is picked and packed by a worker into the drone which then flies autonomously to its destination at an altitude of about 60 metres. Delivery currently is free, but Wing plans to introduce a delivery fee this year.
“Drones work really well as part of the broader ecosystem. When we’re working alongside other delivery mechanisms it works really well. We do up to a kilo – anything above a kilo is not for a drone,” he said.Wing drones are likely to carry small grocery items – perhaps something needed at the last minute for an evening meal – or fast food snacks.
