Why it matters

Its 2020 Moneygall trial, approved by the Irish Aviation Authority for flights beyond line of sight, was among Europe's first full-scale drone home-delivery services.

Real-world use

Started with medicine deliveries in Moneygall, County Offaly, in April 2020; by April 2025 it was making up to 80 autonomous deliveries per drone per day in Dublin suburbs and had a US partnership in Dallas-Fort Worth (DroneDJ, Apr 2025).
