Wing and Walmart announced they are expanding their drone delivery service to Denver and Seattle metros in 2027, bringing fast, reliable and convenient home delivery of thousands of Walmart items to nearly 20 major U.S. metros. To date, the growing partnership has brought drone delivery access to more than three million customers across major U.S. metropolitan areas, including Dallas-Fort Worth, Atlanta, Houston and Orlando.
“Adding new metros to our expansion speaks to how quickly people across the country are adopting drone delivery,” says Heather Rivera, chief business officer at Wing. “We’re excited to serve the needs of busy families in nearly 20 major markets spanning diverse communities and climates by delivering the everyday items these families need fast.”
Wing’s aircraft can fly at speeds up to 60 mph, carry up to five pounds and deliver tens of thousands of Walmart items in minutes.
“Expanding drone delivery to Seattle and Denver is about giving more customers a practical option when they need something quickly,” says Greg Cathey, Walmart’s senior vice president, eCommerce transformation. “Walmart’s stores put everyday items close to the communities we serve, and Wing helps bring those items to customers’ homes in minutes.”
Once drone delivery is available, customers using the Walmart app or shopping on Walmart.com will automatically see drone delivery as an option if eligible. Customers will also be able to place an order through the Wing app.
