‘This is a marathon, not a sprint’

Flytrex, a fast-growing drone delivery firm, had a busy 2022, significantly expanding its zones of operations as well as its list of retail and restaurant partners. Yariv Bash, CEO of Flytrex has revealed data based on its service in North Carolina and Texas and the most popular things delivered in 2022.

The average time from takeoff to delivery in 2022 was around 3 minutes and 32 seconds, with the fastest time from order to delivery being 12:13 minutes. Flytrex established a new record of one order per five minutes on October 14. Around 21,350 unique deliveries and 4,000 unique users were generated, representing a 765% growth over 2021.

Intensified by the pandemic, ‘instant gratification’ is a priority for consumers, especially once they experience airborne deliveries straight to their backyards within minutes.

"The pandemic proved a test case for drone deliveries, demonstrating both the need for such services as well as their viability, and the acceptance of such deliveries encouraged their proliferation across new locations," said Yariv Bash in an interview.

"Our ongoing focus is to continue expanding our service across the US suburbs. We also will continue working with regulators like the FAA to help tackle the remaining challenges of UAS integration," said Bash.

"With this new approval, Flytrex is now geared to continue scaling drone delivery nationwide, to the tens of millions of homes across suburban America – ensuring faster, cheaper deliveries to eligible customers," Bash added.
