Amazon to start Prime Air drone deliveries in Texas

The innovative research conducted by Texas A&M University, the small-town feel, and the sense of community in town, all make it a very special place. Amazon will launch this service in College Station and partner with the city and its world-class university on some of the great work it has been doing in the area drone technology, according to a press release by Amazon.

Through these Prime Air drone deliveries, Amazon aims to create new jobs, build partnerships with local organisations, and help to reduce the impact of climate change on future generations.

“Amazon’s new facility presents a tremendous opportunity for College Station to be at the forefront of the development of drone delivery technology. We look forward to partnering with Amazon and Texas A&M and are confident that Amazon will be a productive, conscientious, and accountable participant in our community,” College Station mayor, Karl Mooney, said.

“Being one of the first drone delivery locations for Amazon puts College Station at the forefront of this exciting technology. What happens here will help advance drone delivery for the rest of the country and perhaps the rest of the world. We welcome Amazon to our community and stand ready to assist however we can,” John Sharp, chancellor of The Texas A&M University System, said.
