Where Is Drone Delivery Available in the U.S.? Live Tracker (2026)

On this page

Start with the address, not the city

These are the customer-facing checks that matter. A nearby launch site, an eligible ZIP code, or an operator press release can still produce a no at checkout.

The checkout result wins

Service status can change by hour, weather, item, and delivery point. Treat this page as the current route to the answer, then let the provider confirm the specific order.

Orderable now

“Live” means the operator or partner reports an active customer service in at least part of the named market. It does not mean every address in that market is covered.

Wing + Walmart

Retail and grocery

Wing marks five U.S. metros as now serving. An eligible metro still contains addresses outside the active radius.

Atlanta
Charlotte
Dallas-Fort Worth
Houston
Orlando

Enter the delivery address on Wing's Walmart page. The app then confirms the delivery point and the items available for drone checkout.

Amazon Prime Air

Amazon orders

Amazon reports 11 active sites across 10 metro areas. Two Detroit-area sites make the site count larger than the metro count.

Tolleson, AZ (Phoenix)
Ruskin, FL (Tampa)
Kansas City, KS
Papillion, NE (Omaha)
Baton Rouge, LA
Hazel Park, MI (Detroit)
Pontiac, MI (Detroit)
Richmond, TX (Houston)
San Antonio, TX
Richardson, TX (Dallas)
Waco, TX

Amazon says listed ZIP codes can still contain ineligible addresses. Drone delivery appears while shopping and at checkout when the address, item, and delivery point qualify.

Zipline

Retail, food, and medical

Zipline has several different U.S. service models, so one city label does not describe every customer's ordering path.

Pea Ridge and Northwest Arkansas retail delivery
Dallas-Fort Worth retail and food delivery
Cypress, Houston early access
Cleveland east-side prescription delivery within the current medical service area

Retail access is shown in the Zipline app. Cleveland Clinic medication delivery is limited to eligible patients and the program's current five-mile service radius from Beachwood.

DoorDash

Partner ordering channel

DoorDash can surface drone delivery inside its existing app in selected partner zones. The current consumer experience is often powered by Wing rather than a separate DoorDash aircraft network.

Selected zones in Charlotte
Selected zones in Metro Atlanta
Selected zones in Southwest Virginia
Selected zones in Dallas-Fort Worth

The checkout result is the useful test. A nearby participating restaurant or retailer, a drone-eligible item, and a qualifying address must all line up.

Announced and coming soon

These markets have a current operator announcement but were not confirmed as broadly orderable during this review. Do not plan around a launch month until an address checker accepts the order.

Chicago, Syracuse, Cleveland, Atlanta, and Boise

Amazon names these as planned launch metros. The company has not turned the whole metro into an eligible delivery area.

Zipline

Austin and Phoenix

Zipline has announced both markets. Austin was described as coming in the months after July 2026; a current live retail launch was not confirmed for either market during this update.

Why a nearby address can still fail

Active radius

The operating site may cover only part of the metro or ZIP code, and service can expand neighborhood by neighborhood.

Item and package

Weight, dimensions, inventory, temperature control, and merchant participation narrow what can fly.

Delivery point

The aircraft needs a clear drop area without people, pets, vehicles, trees, wires, roofs, or other hazards.

Weather and hours

Wind, rain, visibility, temperature, maintenance, and the site's approved operating window can pause service.

Partner rollout

An operator may be live while a specific store, restaurant, pharmacy, or catalog remains unavailable.

Current demand

Capacity, order volume, and early-access enrollment can limit checkout even inside an active service area.

FAA approval is capacity, not customer service

The FAA uses Part 135 air-carrier certification and related operating approvals for these delivery systems. Those records show the aircraft, sites, areas, procedures, and limits an operator may use. They are essential evidence, but they do not prove that a retailer has installed every site or opened every address.

Approval can establish

Air-carrier authority and approved aircraft
Authorized operating areas and site ceilings
Operating hours, range, payload, and procedure limits
Environmental conditions and required mitigations

Customer service still needs

An installed and active launch site
A participating retailer, restaurant, or health system
An eligible address, item, and delivery point
A released app or checkout path accepting orders

Wing's final Atlanta and Houston records, for example, allow a network ceiling of up to 118 nests. The same records say the timing and pace of installation depend on market conditions. Read the current numbers in our Wing approval report.

Primary sources and current checks

Operator pages are used for customer availability. FAA records are used for operating authority. Health-system and marketplace pages are used when they define the actual ordering channel.

Drone delivery availability FAQ

Where is drone delivery available in the United States?

Wing currently names Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and Orlando. Amazon Prime Air reports 11 active sites across 10 metros in Arizona, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, and Texas. Zipline has retail or food service in Northwest Arkansas, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Houston early access, plus a Cleveland Clinic prescription program. DoorDash offers partner-powered drone checkout in selected zones. Exact address eligibility is narrower than every metro list.

How do I check whether my address qualifies?

Use the operator's address checker or app with the exact delivery address. City names, ZIP codes, and nearby stores only narrow the search. The checkout flow also tests the item, delivery point, current service hours, and operating conditions.

Does FAA approval mean drone delivery is live near me?

No. FAA certification and site approvals define what an operator may build or operate. Live customer service still requires an installed site, partner inventory, an active radius, suitable addresses and drop zones, staffing, weather availability, and a released ordering flow.

Can any Amazon, Walmart, or restaurant item be delivered by drone?

No. Weight, package dimensions, merchant participation, inventory, and the operator's aircraft limits all narrow the catalog. Amazon says nearly all items five pounds or less that fit in a large shoebox can be eligible, but the checkout result governs each order.

Is drone delivery free?

Fees vary. Amazon currently says Prime orders of $50 or more receive free drone delivery, Prime orders under $50 cost $2.99, and non-Prime orders cost $4.99. Other operators and partners set their own current fees, minimums, promotions, and item prices.

Can a Part 107 pilot start delivering packages for customers?

Part 107 alone is not the operating authority used by the large beyond-visual-line-of-sight delivery networks on this page. The FAA uses Part 135 air-carrier certification with approved aircraft, operating specifications, maintenance, personnel, and site procedures for these package-delivery systems.
