Welcome to the world of aerial pizza delivery - Domino's sets the trend in New Zealand

At long last, the concept of aerial pizza delivery is taking shape - it has become a reality with the first pizza being delivered by drone. It is a Domino's Pizza and the first delivery of a Peri-Peri chicken pizza and a chicken and cranberry pizza was made to Whangaparaoa, north of Auckland.
The drone company Flirtey has teamed up with Domino's to deliver pizza through the unmanned aerial vehicle.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 16 November 2016.

The delivery of pizza by using a drone was a world-first and Domino's expected high demand from customers when it started trials. The obvious benefits of such a delivery system meant avoiding traffic and congestion, and limiting delivery time.
The successful delivery followed several operational and product trials, including food temperature testing and co-ordinating with government.
Research carried out by Domino's showed that 70 per cent of customers would use drone delivery if given the opportunity. New Zealand is, right now, its trial market but it is also looking at trials in Australia, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Japan and Germany.
