|February 28, 2025
Amazon took flight this week, expanding its Prime Air drone delivery to 10 U.S. cities on February 21, 2025, powered by AWS artificial intelligence.
-
Announced via an Amazon press release, the rollout spans urban hubs like Atlanta and Dallas, promising 30-minute drops for packages under 5 pounds. With a $1.9 trillion valuation, this isn't a test run-it's Amazon doubling down on logistics supremacy. What's driving this expansion, how does it work, and what's the payoff for users? Here's the full story on Amazon's drone leap, grounded in official word and hard data.
DRONES TAKE OFF
Amazon's February 21 press release confirmed Prime Air's leap-10 cities now get drone drops, up from one (Lockeford, CA) since 2022. Atlanta, Dallas, Phoenix, and seven others (full list TBD) join, with 500,000 households in range, per Reuters. Drones lift off from Same-Day Delivery sites-warehouses packing 100,000 SKUs― targeting Prime's 200 million U.S. subscribers (2024 stat). CEO Andy Jassy called it "a milestone in speed," aiming for 500 million yearly drone deliveries by 2030.
This builds on FAA nods-full approval hit in May 2024 (Bloomberg), letting drones fly beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). Lockeford's 2022 start delivered 100 packages monthly; 2025's scale is millions, per Amazon's claim. X posts from Dallas cheer"books in 28 minutes"—it's live, and it's fast.
AWS AND WINGS Prime Air's backbone? AWS AI and custom drones. The MK30 drone, unveiled 2024, hauls 5 pounds, flies 12 miles at 50 mph, per Amazon's specs.
