The Robot Report noted on Aug 20, 2026 that Amazon intends to grow Prime Air service to nearly 500 cities by the end of 2026. The announcement signals a major geographic scale-up of the company’s drone delivery operations over the coming year-and-a-half.

Amazon states that Prime Air drones can carry almost any item weighing 5 lb or less that fits in a large shoebox, establishing the service’s practical payload and size limits as it broadens availability.
