The new service will be operational in just a few weeks. Lusk is the second European city to host the subsidiary ofAlphabet after helsinki (Finland). The American firm has also started deliveries by drones to Canberra (Australia) and Christiansburg (United States).
The Wing drones made their 300,000th delivery during the month of October. The duration of a delivery by drone is about 15 minutes on average
For now, the service offered by Wing is in the experimental stage. This will still be the case in Lusk, a small town of around 10,000 inhabitants, the objective being not to rush local habits while demonstrating the usefulness of delivery by drones, especially for areas difficult to access. access. The IAA (Irish Aviation Authority) has in any case given the green light for this life-size test, while recalling that Ireland has always been “an excellent incubator for future innovations”. Wing is also collaborating with EASA (European Union Aviation Safety Agency) for future service trials in other European cities.
