SEATTLE— Amazon’s Prime Air service is rapidly expanding and plans to reach nearly 500 cities and towns in the United States by the end of 2026—a sixfold increase from its current footprint—bringing ultrafast drone delivery to communities with tens of millions of customers across the country.
Amazon Prime Air offers one of the broadest selections available through drone delivery, giving customers access to millions of products, including groceries, beauty items, medications, electronics and household essentials, often delivered in 30 minutes or less at everyday low prices.

The service currently operates in communities across Arizona, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Michigan, Nebraska, and Texas, with expansion plans underway for Georgia, Ohio, Illinois, Idaho, and New York.
“Customers already turn to Amazon for fast Same- and Next-Day Delivery, and Prime Air provides them an even speedier option when they need it, with deliveries in as fast as 30 minutes,” said David Carbon, vice president of Amazon Prime Air. “We've already delivered hundreds of thousands of packages to customers by drone this year, and by the end of 2026 we plan to reach customers in nearly 500 cities and towns. We're pairing the convenience of ultrafast drone delivery with the low prices and selection customers love about Amazon.”
