Global package delivery company UPS has applied for an FAA Part 135 certification to operate commercial drone flights under a new subsidiary business called UPS Flight Forward, the company announced on Wednesday. The company said it could receive Part 135 approval this year, making it one of the first fully certified, revenue-generating drone operations in the U.S. UPS says it ultimately intends to operate delivery drone flights day or night and beyond the operator’s visual line of sight.
