New Zealand to go in for aerial delivery of Domino's pizzas - via drones

Fast food companies have been toying around with idea of aerial delivery of pizzas and, such pizza delivery may sound futuristic but Domino's has been obtained the OK to test New Zealand pizza delivery via drones. The fast food chain has gone into partnership with drone business Flirtey to launch the first commercial drone delivery service in the world which could begin later this year.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 25 August 2016.

Domino's have said that it had been investigating innovative and new delivery methods in view of growth in its business and one of the options was the robotic delivery, which the government is still considering. While details have been kept a secret for obvious reasons, it is understood that Domino's would use drone delivery alongside its usual delivery methods - and, only where it would be faster than the use of a car or scooter.
The company has made it clear that it will not offer the full range of its products for drone delivery - and such delivery would be restricted to only those customers who live within a certain distance from a store and will get the benefit of aerial delivery.
