Under the proposed action, Wing will establish a network of up to 25 nests with each nest serving an area with a 6-mile radius. Wing is planning to conduct up to 400 deliveries per day from each nest. Initially, Wing expects to fly considerably less than 400 deliveries per day from each nest and then gradually increase to 400 deliveries per day as consumer demand rises. Even in the locations where the service areas of nests overlap, deliveries would not exceed 400 per day. Each flight would take a package to a customer delivery address before returning to the nest.
Comments must be submitted by 9 October 2023 to 9-FAA-Drone-Environmental@faa.gov Please reference the Wing DFW Texas Draft EA in the email subject line when sending comments.
