January 10, 2026, from ChatGPT:
Walmart partners with specialized drone delivery companies that design, operate, and supply the aircraft and logistics technology. The major partners in its drone delivery program include:
🚁 Key Drone Providers Working With Walmart
1. Wing (Alphabet/Google’s drone unit)Alphabet’s drone delivery business — formerly part of Google X — provides the aircraft and drone delivery service for many Walmart locations, especially in the Dallas–Fort Worth area and newly expanded cities like Houston, Atlanta, Orlando, and Charlotte.2. ZiplineZipline is another provider whose fixed-wing drones have been used in Walmart pilots. Zipline designs and operates its own delivery aircraft and has been approved for Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights, allowing broader service reach.
3. (Earlier Partners – Phase-Out) DroneUp and FlytrexWalmart previously worked with DroneUp (a delivery services provider; note it does not manufacture the drones itself).Flytrex has also been part of earlier retail and food deliveries in some markets (though not currently highlighted as a primary vendor in recent expansions).
In short: the drones delivering your Walmart orders are made and operated by Wing and Zipline, with prior pilots involving DroneUp and Flytrex.
