Amazon Launches Drone Deliveries in Phoenix with FAA Approval

The new MK30 drones offer quieter, longer-range deliveries, marking a significant step in Amazon's drone delivery program.

Amazon's MK30 drones can deliver items weighing up to 5 pounds within an hour in the West Valley of Phoenix.
The FAA has approved these drones to fly beyond the visual line of sight, using advanced detect-and-avoid technology.
The MK30 drones are quieter and have double the range of their predecessors, addressing previous noise complaints.
Amazon has integrated drone operations into its same-day delivery network in Tolleson, Arizona, enhancing logistics efficiency.
Plans for international expansion include introducing drone deliveries to the U.K. and Italy by the end of 2024.
