Amazon’s Prime Air pushes FAA for stricter drone safety rules ahead of expansion
Prime Air, an aerospace program known for rapid package deliveries, has called for stricter safety rules in low-altitude airspace. The company recently submitted public comments to the FAA, pushing for higher standards across both crewed and uncrewed aircraft. Their proposals focus on electronic visibility and advanced collision-avoidance technology.
Prime Air delivers items up to five pounds in under an hour, including medications, smartphones, and tens of thousands of other products. The service operates under rigorous aerospace principles, but the company now wants broader industry changes.
The FAA will now review Prime Air’s recommendations as part of its rulemaking process. If adopted, the changes could require all low-flying aircraft—both crewed and uncrewed—to meet stricter visibility and collision-avoidance rules. The outcome may shape future standards for drone deliveries and general aviation safety.
