Amazon’s first UK drone deliveries will take flight in Darlington, England, the company announced on Monday. The e-commerce giant is taking the initial steps to get Prime Air deliveries off the ground in the area, working with the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) for authorization to fly its drones in the airspace.
Once Amazon has approval, it will begin hiring team members to launch drone deliveries out of its Darlington fulfillment center. Amazon didn’t share any details about when Prime Air deliveries will launch in the area.
