Mesa Air Group Inc. said it is planning to test home delivery of food and beverages via drones in Nevada by the end of the year, as it considers the potential for nationwide service.
The regional airline’s move comes as big e-commerce players including Amazon.com Inc. and Alphabet Inc.’s Google unit as well as dozens of startups pursue drone delivery to household consumers. All face the challenge of securing regulatory approval and stirring consumer acceptance as demand for home delivery continues to boom.
