DoorDash and Flytrex today announced the launch of their drone delivery service in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) metroplex, expanding upon a successful pilot programme that competed over 1000 deliveries. Customers in parts of Little Elm and Frisco can now order food from dozens of restaurants between 8:00am and 9:30pm, with delivery via Flytrex’s autonomous drone fleet.
This is Flytrex’s first third-party app integration, enabling customers to place orders directly through the DoorDash app. The service currently reaches over 30,000 households and more than 100,000 residents, with additional DFW sites launching soon. The Flytrex drones can carry up to 6.6 pounds and next-generation models will increase capacity to 8.8 pounds.
Flytrex has implemented drone traffic control technology that enables multiple drone operators to serve overlapping communities while safely managing flight paths through automated systems.
This partnership stems from DoorDash Labs, the company’s robotics and automation division, which focuses on identifying and integrating autonomous solutions.
