Wing’s New Remote Operations Center Is Air Traffic Control for Its Drones
by David Seeley | Dec 12, 2022
In April, Wing—a subsidiary of Alphabet and sister company of Google—began delivering products by drone to neighborhoods in Frisco and Little Elm from a "drone nest" in each city. The drones buzz with payloads from Walgreens, Blue Bell Creameries, Texas Health, and easyvet.
Now Wing has opened its second U.S. remote operations center in a Coppell office building to oversee the drone operations, staffed by FAA-licensed "pilots in command."

Wing—the drone delivery unit of Google parent company Alphabet—is partnering with Blue Bell Creameries, easyvet, and Texas Health Resources on the launch. Wing calls the service "the first in a major U.S. metro area," and aims to offer "6 miles, 6 minutes, free delivery."
Wing's test deliveries from Walgreens stores in Frisco and Little Elm graduate to their official launch Thursday as well.
