Amazon to Expand Prime Air Drone Delivery to Chicago, Atlanta and Three More Metros, Targeting ~500 Cities by Year-End

Amazon plans to bring Prime Air drone delivery to Chicago, Atlanta, Syracuse (NY), Cleveland and Boise by year-end, on top of the 10 metros it currently serves. The company says it aims to reach ~500 towns and cities before 2026 ends, a roughly sixfold expansion. Drones handle items up to five pounds, delivering most orders inside 60 minutes; Prime members pay $3 (free over $50) and non-members pay $5.
