Amazon evaluating drone deliveries in Australia, Asia

Amazon.com is considering drone deliveries in Australia and other countries, as per a recent job posting for a Head of Regulatory Approvals in Australia. The role involves navigating Australia's aviation regulatory system and securing all necessary approvals to deliver to Australian customers by drone. The person in this position will report to the "Leader, Prime Air Expansion – Asia Pacific."

Amazon has not yet commented on the job ad or specified other Asian countries they plan to enter. The job responsibilities indicate that Amazon is serious about operating Prime Air in Australia, not just conducting market evaluations. In August, Amazon revealed its plans to operate Prime Air drones in nearly 500 cities and towns across the United States this year.
