Wing, Alphabet's drone delivery service, is about to land in Europe. For several years and after 300,000 deliveries – mainly in Australia and the United States – developments in legislation mean that the service will finally be deployed and tested in Europe.

For the moment, Wing is mainly present in Australia and the United States, each time in small areas for local trials and experiments. Most of the deliveries concern small, light batches ordered from merchants close to home. It is generally a question of transporting food or medicine by air.
