| Subject: Destructive FAA shoots down Amazon's drone delivery plans Mon Feb 16, 2015 8:56 pm | |
| Amazon says it is still committed to delivering products by drone despite new federal rules that it considers an obstacle to commercial use of unmanned aircraft.
Paul Misener, Amazon vice president for global policy, said the FAA's proposed new rules "wouldn't allow Prime Air to operate in the United States.'' Prime Air is the name of Amazon's developmental program for drone delivery. Amazon's Misner called for rules that would address Amazon's plan for using drones to deliver packages.
"The FAA needs to begin and expeditiously complete the formal process to address the needs of our business, and ultimately our customers,'' he said. "We are committed to realizing our vision for Prime Air and are prepared to deploy where we have the regulatory support we need."
