Manna completes 40,000 drone deliveries to Dublin addresses in first week

Company said it now offered delivery of Mexican-themed restaurant chain Boojum products to up to 100,000 people in the Dublin 15 area and plans to gradually expand in the coming months

Manna's drone system has been under trial for a number of years now, with takeaway items and small grocery deliveries flown to addresses using drones and lowered onto driveways and lawns for collection.

Irish drone delivery firm Manna has further expanded its operations, launching delivery services in Blanchardstown, Dublin, this week and forming a new partnership with Mexican-themed restaurant chain Boojum.

Manna, led by founder and CEO Bobby Healy, is one of several firms using drone technology for a variety of delivery and logistic purposes. The companies claim the revolution in 'last mile' logistics reduces the number of cars on the road, brings down the number of traffic accidents and lowers carbon emissions.
