<p>(Reuters) – Amazon (NASDAQ:) said on Wednesday it was planning to begin delivering packages through drones in Britain, Italy and a third location in the United States, as part of the e-commerce giant’s efforts to expand its airborne delivery program.</p>
<p>The customers in these locations will have the option to have their packages delivered by a drone starting late 2024, Amazon said in a statement.</p>
<p>Drone deliveries would be integrated into Amazon’s existing fulfillment network and will be deployed from same-day delivery sites, the company added.</p>
<p>Amazon’s drone based service, called Prime Air, is currently available in two cites in California and Texas, where it launched last year.</p>
<p>The retailer has been working on a plan to deliver goods using a fleet of unmanned drones, and had received federal approval in 2020 to begin testing commercial deliveries in the United States. </p>
