DoorDash gets FAA approval for its own delivery drones

Your next DoorDash order could arrive with a flight path instead of a driver. DoorDash has earned FAA Part 135 air carrier certification and launched DoorDash Air, its in-house drone delivery program. The company now has federal authorization to operate a commercial drone delivery service in the United States.

Yes, the app you use for burgers, groceries and late-night snacks is entering the airline business. However, this does not mean a DoorDash drone will hover over your driveway tomorrow.
