Alphabet-owned Wing announced Monday it plans to bring its drone delivery service to the San Francisco Bay Area in the coming months.

The Mountain View, California-based company called the area a “particularly meaningful market” for it, since the company was established in the Bay Area in 2012 through Alphabet’s Moonshot Factory, known as X, a research unit that turns experimental projects into independent companies.

“Bringing drone delivery to the Bay Area is another step in Wing’s ambitious plan to turn drone delivery into a national logistics network,” the company said in a statement. “It’s a groundbreaking service added to a region that prides itself on using groundbreaking technology.”

Wing said it first tested drone delivery in the Bay Area at Google’s Mountain View headquarters to deliver supplies across the campus. It said employees began asking when they would be able to use this drone delivery service at their homes, which reinforced Wing’s commitment to expand to the Bay Area.

Wing positions its mission as designing drone technology that flies small packages to homes in dense residential areas to solve the problem of last-mile delivery, which can be slow, expensive, and inefficient. 

Wing became independent in 2018 and said it officially launched its delivery service to the public in Australia in 2019. The same year, it reportedly received FAA approval for drone delivery and began operating in the United States, becoming the country’s first commercial drone delivery service.

The company said it has completed over 750,000 deliveries to homes and covers large U.S. metros including Houston, Atlanta, and Dallas, and previously announced plans to expand to Orlando and Tampa in Florida and Charlotte, North Carolina.

Wing has major partnerships with DoorDash and Walmart. In January, Wing and Walmart announced an expansion to service an additional 150 Walmart locations over the course of this year and a total of 270 by 2027, across locations including Los Angeles, St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Miami. 

Alphabet reported more than $132 billion in earnings in 2025, and its stock has risen by more than 72 percent in the 12-month period to March 25, in large part due to optimism over Google’s AI model Gemini.

While Alphabet has not disclosed the financial performance of Wing, the Google parent reported approximately $3.6 billion in losses from non-Google businesses in 2025.
