Flytrex and Wing are now operating their respective drone delivery services in overlapping airspace in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
“This marks the first time in the United States that two commercial drone delivery services have implemented uncrewed traffic management (UTM) services in daily beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations over a shared airspace,” Wing said on May 28. “Rather than operating in siloed zones, Flytrex and Wing operate in close proximity to serve overlapping communities, while managing their flight paths to prevent conflicts. They exchange flight intent data and automatically adjust their flight paths to meet deconfliction requirements, without the need for manual coordination between the two companies.”
The work is part of a broader industry-Federal Aviation Administration collaboration establishing the foundations for a national UTM ecosystem.
