19 Aug 2024 --- Amazon is deploying a fleet of delivery drones in Italy, the UK and an additional US city, which will be in flight before the end of this year. The Prime Air system has already been operating for nearly a year in the US, where the machines have been delivering packages weighing up to five pounds in one hour or less. Once available in the new territories, eligible Amazon customers can opt in to drone delivery and choose from thousands of items that weigh five pounds or less — including household products, everyday essentials, beauty items and office or tech supplies.
