Wing partners with DoorDash, Mirvac for drone delivery in Queensland

Wing has announced the launch of its first drone delivery service in the City of Ipswich, Queensland this week with DoorDash and Mirvac. The new service at Mirvac's Orion Springfield Central shopping centre makes it possible for local restaurants and retailers using DoorDash's platform and Wing’s delivery drones to provide food and essentials to the surrounding communities via `DoorDash Air`.

Wing delivery drones, located on the roof of Mirvac Orion Springfield Central, collect a package from the loading area, rise to a safe cruising height, and then travel directly to the customer's home, hovering to lower the package via a tether before returning to the shopping centre to recharge.

“We believe that drone delivery creates an affordable, easy-to-use way to address the costly last-mile delivery challenge for lightweight goods. These new services can also help reduce road congestion and emissions while creating new economic opportunities for retailers, food providers and communities,” said Simon Rossi, General Manager, Wing Australia.

While Wing has traditionally provided delivery services directly to residential and business customers, the company is now accelerating its partnerships with real estate and logistics businesses to expand delivery options, to make fast drone delivery affordable and sustainable.

The Orion Springfield Central service represents the first collaboration between Wing, Mirvac and DoorDash, and signifies another milestone in the growth of drone delivery growth in Queensland and Australia.
