Just like Wing, Amazon Prime Air drone delivery will no longer require standalone hubs, like those in Lockeford, California and College Station, Texas, but will be integrated directly into the company’s delivery network. Customers in Italy and the UK will have to option to have their packages delivered by drone beginning next year.
A third US city will also be added to Amazon’s existing drone delivery operations where they’ve been using large hexacopters to safely deliver packages weighing up to five pounds in one hour or less. Prime Air is set to unveil a new quieter, smaller and lighter MK30 drone design in the coming months.

The future has arrived in Italy. Being chosen by a global player such as Amazon is further confirmation of the strategy pursued by ENAC (the National Civil Aviation Authority), to push for innovation of advanced air mobility in the aviation industry, creating a national ecosystem favorable to the safe development of new services. Italy’s experience will be an inspiration and support for safe operations in the rest of Europe,” said Pierluigi Di Palma, President of the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC).
