Following collisions between two Amazon Prime Air delivery drones and a crane boom in Tolleson, Arizona, the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the Federal Aviation Administration have launched investigations, as reported by Reuters. Amazon temporarily suspended local drone deliveries on Thursday, with plans to resume operations on Friday. An Amazon spokesperson indicated that an internal review revealed no malfunctions or technological defects within the drones themselves. In response to the incidents, Amazon has implemented enhanced operational protocols, including more comprehensive visual landscape assessments to proactively identify and monitor moving obstructions. Amazon initiated its drone delivery service in the Phoenix area in November 2024, with a corporate objective to achieve an annual delivery volume of 500 million packages via drone by the end of 2030.
