About

About Drone Delivery Grid

Independent reporting on the world’s newest logistics layer.

DDG is an editorially independent publication covering the operators, regulators and engineers building commercial drone delivery. We don’t take money from the companies we cover.
We exist because drone delivery is the biggest shift in logistics since the container ship — and it’s happening faster than most people realise.

Most coverage of drone delivery sits at one of two extremes: breathless announcements from company PR teams, or dismissive takes from writers who haven’t tracked the regulatory arc. Neither serves the people who actually need to understand this industry — operators, investors, regulators, and the engineers making it work.

DDG covers the sector the way it deserves: with primary sources, data, and the kind of long-form analysis that takes the technology seriously without treating every press release as news.

We’re based in London. We cover the world.

What we stand for

Editorial values

01
Independence
We don’t take advertising from the companies we cover, accept sponsored content, or let commercial relationships influence editorial decisions. Our only obligation is to readers.
02
Specificity
Drone delivery is a technical, regulatory and commercial subject. We go deep. We name companies, cite specific rules, and publish the data behind our claims wherever we can.
03
Accountability
We correct errors promptly and transparently. If a claim we’ve made turns out to be wrong, we say so — in the article, not buried in a footnote.
How we work

Editorial standards

DDG’s coverage is based on publicly available information — regulatory filings, official authority publications, company announcements, and published research. We do not publish factual claims we cannot source. Where we offer analysis or interpretation, we say so clearly.

Our directory entries reflect companies we have researched editorially, with data drawn from public sources. The regulation tracker reflects our reading of official authority publications and is presented with a clear disclaimer to verify against current sources before making operational decisions.

Public sources only All factual claims in DDG coverage are drawn from publicly available sources — company announcements, regulatory filings, official authority publications, and published research. We do not publish claims we cannot source.
Analysis clearly labelled Where DDG offers interpretation, assessment or forward-looking analysis, it is presented as such — not as reported fact. Opinion and analysis are clearly distinguished from documented information.
Transparent corrections Errors are corrected in-line with a dated correction note. We do not delete or silently amend published articles.
No pay-to-play directory Directory listings are editorially determined. Companies cannot pay for inclusion, placement or status classification.

The Editor
Founder · Drone Delivery Grid

“I started DDG because I kept hitting the same wall: the information I needed to understand what was actually happening in drone delivery — which corridors were approved, which operators were scaling, what the regulatory bottlenecks really were — was scattered across press releases, regulatory dockets, and aviation trade publications written for a specialist audience that assumed you already knew the acronyms.

DDG is the publication I wanted to read. I hope it’s useful to you too.”
