Amazon’s drone fleet is expanding sixfold in America and capped at 100 deliveries a day in England

Amazon will grow Prime Air to roughly 500 U.S. cities by the end of 2026, up from 11 sites in seven states, and targets one million deliveries in 2024 after completing hundreds of thousands. In the U.K., the Darlington site caps at 10 flights per hour, 100 daily deliveries, daylight-only service within a 7.5-mile radius, and its CAA trial ends 31 December, with an AAIB investigation ongoing after a July crash. Recent U.S. incidents involve a drone hitting a crane in Arizona and an internet cable in Texas, prompting NTSB and FAA inquiries.
