The company cites an internal review that found no faults, adding enhanced visual inspections before restarting service.

Overview

  • Amazon will restart Tolleson drone deliveries Friday after a two-day pause, saying it will continue cooperating with federal reviews.
  • The FAA and NTSB have opened investigations, with preliminary FAA records noting substantial damage from a mid-route collision.
  • Tolleson police say two MK30 drones flying back to back struck the boom of a construction crane around 10 a.m., then crashed into separate parking lots.
