Fort Worth, Texas – DroneUp has obtained the sought-after Part 135 air carrier accreditation from the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA), in a recent development for the drone delivery sector. A major turning point, this certification allows the business to use drones Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) even in populated regions, therefore enabling the delivery of goods. Starting with the Dallas Fort Worth (DFW) area, the success represents a turning point in DroneUp’s aim to change the logistics scene.
For DroneUp, the FAA’s Part 135 certification changes everything since it creates new possibilities for growing drone deployment. With this permission, DroneUp may expand its delivery range to five miles, therefore significantly increasing the number of homes it can service—up by an amazing 600%. Additionally, the certification guarantees that DroneUp follows the strict safety and operational guidelines prescribed by the FAA, a vital need for building the confidence of both authorities and consumers.
Tom Walker, DroneUp’s Founder and CEO, shared his excitement about this milestone. “We are proud to achieve the FAA’s Part 135 Air Carrier and Operator Certification, a pivotal step in transforming how goods are delivered,” he said. Walker emphasized the company’s focus on “innovation, safety, and operational excellence,” as well as its commitment to redefining convenience with “a fast, sustainable, and reliable delivery solution.”
The certification not only confirms DroneUp’s technical capacity but also indicates the company’s preparedness to address logistical difficulties in a fast-developing sector. Walker underlined DroneUp’s dedication to reinventing convenience and positioned drone delivery as a reasonable, forward-looking substitute for more conventional solutions.
FAA certification is no easy route; it calls for careful evaluations and great teamwork. For DroneUp, the approach highlighted the company’s capacity to push drone technology limits while closely working with authorities.
Chief Operating Officer of DroneUp, Anthony Vittone, emphasized the need of group effort in reaching this milestone.
“We are very grateful for the collaborative process we undertook with the FAA in achieving this certification; the fastest drone company to achieve air carrier certification that was not based on an existing platform,” Vittone said.
This milestone not only highlights DroneUp’s technical prowess but also reflects its commitment to safety and operational excellence. “With the FAA’s partnership and rigorous oversight, we are poised to expand our reach, driving innovation while meeting surging demand,” Vittone added.

Further developments involving operating over greater distances, transporting heavier payloads, and reaching underprivileged regions throughout the United States rely on the certification.
First deployed under the Part 135 certification, DroneUp will start in Murphy, Texas, a DFW suburban community. Equipped with next-generation drones able to carry up to 10 pounds across a five-mile radius, the business is poised to transform neighborhood delivery. Plans are currently under way to grow operations to ten more sites spread across the DFW area, therefore centralizing certified drone delivery.
This strategic growth reflects DroneUp’s idea of adding drones into regular transportation. The company wants to offer quicker and more environmentally friendly delivery choices, therefore lowering the carbon impact of conventional delivery systems. For Murphy residents, this translates into unmatched simplicity and efficiency.
