DoorDash launches drone delivery division with FAA approval
DoorDash announced DoorDash Air, a new drone delivery program, after receiving Part 135 air carrier certification from the FAA. The certification allows the company to operate drones for commercial delivery in the near future. DoorDash is the largest food delivery app in the US, and this move positions it to compete in the growing drone logistics space.

The FAA certification is a significant regulatory milestone, but drone delivery's real-world impact will depend on range, payload, and urban logistics challenges that DoorDash hasn't yet detailed.
