Wing and Walmart are bringing drone deliveries to Denver and Seattle in 2027
Walmart and Alphabet-owned Wing have revealed two more metro areas for their drone delivery service. The companies plan to start operations in the Denver and Seattle metro areas in 2027 as part of a plan to offer air delivery from more than 270 Walmart stores across the US. Currently, Wing and Walmart's drone deliveries are available in five metropolitan areas: Atlanta; Charlotte, North Carolina; Dallas–Fort Worth; Houston; and Orlando, Florida. As things stand, they aim to expand to fourteen other destinations, including Miami, Philadelphia, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area. The drones can travel at up to 60 mph and carry a payload that weighs as much as five pounds.
