Autonomous drone delivery startup Manna plots major U.S. expansion

Manna Aero, an Ireland-based autonomous drone delivery startup, is launching a U.S. operations and manufacturing facility in Tulsa, Oklahoma, expected to employ around 1,000 people over several years. Backed by a $50M Series B, the company plans to scale to 200–300 operations staff within 12 months and is evaluating six additional U.S. cities for expansion by end of 2027. Manna competes with Zipline, Amazon, and Google's Wing, using tether-lowering drones and a delivery-as-a-service model with partners like DoorDash and Uber Eats. The expansion is driven by favorable FAA and Trump administration regulatory policies, and the company has already been operating in the Dallas-Fort Worth area since 2023.
