UPS Drones have Won an FAA Milestone

The Federal Aviation Administration have given couriers permission to use as many delivery drones as they need at hospital, corporate or university campuses. They will however have to meet a few restrictions because drones are prohibited from flying at night and they are also not allowed to fly beyond the remote pilot's line of sight. On top of this, they are not allowed to carry any kind of weight that is above 55 pounds.

The FAA's decision was announced on Thursday and this appears to be a big step forward towards drone shipments. The devices have promised to try and reduce courier costs and they are also going to play a huge role in the surge of e-commerce too. Those who work in driver recruitment Ireland or even those who are trying to seek driving jobs Ireland will know more than anyone how beneficial this can be to the industry.

If you do work as part of a driving agency Ireland you will also know that this could mean a lot of industry changes. This change is so significant that the FAA are going to plan to mark the occasion by ringing a bell at the company HQ. This bell is only reserved for any corporate milestones, including mergers or anything else of the sort.

Of course, the company, who are based in Atlanta have stated that they have already made more than 1,000 flights to the WakeMed hospital in Raleigh. UPS are going to do everything they can to roll out even more drone deliveries and they are also going to try and expand their services even more as well.

When things are in full-swing. UPS hope to make residential deliveries with the drones. This is most likely going to be in rural or suburban areas. They are excited about where they are right now and they also expect even bigger changes to come.
