Wing Aviation LLC, doing business as Wing, is a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc. that develops a drone delivery system and UTM systems. The company completed its first deliveries in 2014.[1] The company has operations in Australia, the United States, Finland, and Ireland, with potential expansion to the United Kingdom planned.[2][3][4][5][6] In July 2018, Project Wing graduated from X Development (formally Google X) to become an independent Alphabet company.[7] As of January 2019, Wing began delivering take-out food and beverages out of its test facility in Bonython, Australia, as part of a pilot program.[8] In April 2019 Wing became the first drone delivery company to receive an Air operator's certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration to allow it to operate as an airline in the US.[9] In the first quarter of 2022, the service made more than 50,000 deliveries.[10]
