iFood launches drone operation in Barueri/SP

▤ Summary

iFood expanded its drone delivery operation to Barueri, São Paulo, and added a new route that crosses residential areas. The company uses a multimodal model: a drone carries orders across part of the route, and a courier handles the last mile. Speedbird operates and monitors the drones in real time, and the route runs only after receiving required ANAC and DECEA certifications. The service aims to bypass difficult access conditions and long waits in large condominium complexes, where delivery rejection rates were high. The article also notes that the company has already completed more than 5,000 orders on its Sergipe route.
