Amazon expands drone deliveries across the UK

Amazon's Prime Air service had only reached around 600 customers in Darlington since a pilot began earlier this year. The firm can now fly further and over built-up areas after the Civil Aviation Authority, the UK's aviation regulator, gave it a Sail 4 safety approval, which Amazon calls a world first. Parcels must weigh under 5lb, and there's no extra delivery fee for Prime members.
