Domino's Pizza to launch drone deliveries with new tech partner Delimiter

The automated aircraft are planned to work alongside Domino's current delivery fleet and will be integrated into its online ordering and GPS systems, according to the firm. Domino's Group CEO and Managing Director, Don Meij, said the company's growth in recent years had led to a "significant increase" in the number of deliveries it needs to make. "With the increased number of deliveries we make each year, we were faced with the challenge of ensuring our delivery times continue to decrease and that we strive to offer our customers new and progressive ways of ordering from us," he said. Research into different delivery methods led Domino's to Flirtey, whose success within the airborne delivery space has been "impressive", the CEO added. The two companies demonstrated their drone pizza delivery service in Auckland, New Zealand, yesterday – an event attended by the country's Civil Aviation Authority and its Minister of Transport Simon Bridges.
