The Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex is becoming a hotspot for Walmart’s growing drone delivery ambitions. The company launched drone services there with DroneUp in 2022, and last August it debuted its delivery offering with Wing in two area cities, reaching 60,000 homes.
Walmart said recent Federal Aviation Administration exemptions granted to both Wing and Zipline, allowing them to fly drones beyond an observer’s visual line of sight, was key in enabling further expansion in Dallas-Fort Worth.
