The company is scaling its drone delivery coverage after a regulatory greenlight enabled longer range deliveries.

Reported · Written up by our desk · M&A & Deals

Amazon has expanded its drone delivery service to nearly 500 cities, following a recent buildup of metro coverage over the past several months, CNBC Markets reports.

The expansion comes after Amazon received a key regulatory approval that allows longer range drone deliveries, according to CNBC World.

Amazon previously targeted 1 million drone deliveries this year as it grew the service footprint, CNBC reports.

The latest update suggests Amazon is using the expanded operating capabilities to broaden where customers can receive drone-delivered packages.
