Manna Air Delivery

Tulsa, we've landed. Starting yesterday, Aug. 12, Manna Air Delivery is officially live on Cherry Street our first operational air base in the U.S., and a milestone that comes just five weeks after our jobs announcement in Tulsa. Residents within a two-mile radius can now get restaurant meals, groceries, and everyday essentials delivered by air in minutes, starting with local favorites like Andolini's Pizzeria, Paréa Coffee, and Sapori. Cherry Street's tight-knit community and strong local business scene made it the ideal place to bring this technology to life proof that autonomous delivery and local commerce can grow together, not compete. From here, the goal is to keep scaling: for Tulsa families today, and for more neighborhoods across the country soon.

97% availability. In Irish weather. ☔ Our founder Bobby Healy joined The Dynamo Show (Dynamo Ventures) this week to talk about how we design and operate our autonomous electric delivery aircraft, and why we run the operation like a low-cost airline. The insight underneath it all: drone delivery isn't won on the aircraft alone. It's won on utilisation, efficiency, and turning flights around fast, day after day, in weather that doesn't cooperate. Give it a listen and let us know what you think 👇 https://lnkd.in/gEq4cg9w

The future is here. It is up to you to choose it. That's the energy in the room this week at the Royal Town Planning Institute's "Planning Drone Futures" launch event, marking two new practice advice notes on drones and planning. Great to see planners, regulators, councils and operators all pushing in the same direction for once. Presented by Dr Paul Cureton (Lancaster University) and Dr Anna Jackman (University of Reading), with a sharp discussion panel featuring Paul Thomas (Director of Planning and Placemaking, Milton Keynes City Council) and Rachel Fisher (Chief Executive, RTPI). Manna featured as a live case study alongside Wing and Amazon — and the room didn't shy away from the hard questions. Noise, privacy, siting, community trust: all on the table, alongside the real benefits drones bring to planning and public services. Honest, balanced, exactly what this industry needs right now. Avtrain's Julie Garland was there representing Manna, in the room with the planners and researchers shaping what comes next. Certification is no longer the hard part of scaling drone delivery. Planning consistency is. This is a real step toward it. Thanks to the RTPI team for pulling this together, and to everyone who spoke.

We were delighted to meet with Congressman Kevin Hern last week in Tulsa. Manna CEO Bobby Healy and Executive Chairman & President Kenny Jacobs met with Rep. Hern to discuss the expansion of Manna Air Delivery and the opportunities ahead for advanced air mobility in Oklahoma and beyond. We appreciate Congressman Hern's time and continued engagement as we work to bring safe, fast, and sustainable drone delivery to more communities. #MannaAirDelivery #Oklahoma #Tulsa #Aviation #Innovation #FutureOfLogistics

We're proud to have ARK Investment Management LLC involved with Manna Air Delivery, and even prouder that our founder & CEO Bobby Healy got to sit down with Tasha Keeney, CFA and Daniel Maguire, ACA from ARK to unpack exactly what we are doing. In this episode of FYI, Bobby talk's about: Why drone delivery economics work at scale — and if $10 trips can become 50-cent trips How autonomous aircraft aren't just delivering burritos — they're reshaping medical and grocery logistics too What it actually takes to build aircraft that fly themselves, safely, every day Why the next decade of delivery won't look anything like the last one This is the conversation for anyone who wants to understand where delivery and autonomy is actually headed, not where the hype says it's headed. Massive thanks to the ARK team for a brilliant chat.

Drone delivery could cut costs from nearly $10 a trip to just 50 cents. On a new FYI, Tasha Keeney and Daniel Maguire talk with Bobby Healy, founder and CEO of Manna Air Delivery, to unpack how autonomous aircraft are reshaping food, medical, grocery, and parcel delivery.

We were delighted to be invited by the American Chamber of Commerce Ireland to take part in a business roundtable in Dublin last week, alongside Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders and the Arkansas Economic Development Commission. It was a great opportunity to discuss the strong, two-way economic relationship between Ireland, Arkansas, and the wider US — and the real ambition on both sides to keep building on it. Thank you to Governor Huckabee Sanders and everyone involved for a really positive and productive conversation. We're looking forward to what comes next. #Ireland #Arkansas #USIreland #EconomicDevelopment #Manna

A first for the UK: Manna receives the first-ever SAIL III Mark Certificate We're proud to share a major milestone: Manna is the first company to receive a SAIL III Mark Certificate from the UK Civil Aviation Authority. What it means: This certificate validates our aircraft itself against the relevant technical requirements — independent of any single operation. It's different from the SAIL III Operational Authorisation we announced recently, which approved us to conduct advanced drone operations. Why it matters: With the aircraft now independently certified, future operational applications won't need to repeat the same technical assessment each time. That means: ✅ Regulators can focus on the operation and its environment, not re-validating the aircraft ✅ A faster, more repeatable pathway to new locations ✅ Safer, more scalable expansion of advanced air delivery Thank you: This milestone wouldn't have been possible without: → The UK Civil Aviation Authority, for their professionalism and technical rigor throughout → Marshall, acting as UK CAA-approved Recognised Assessment Entity for Flightworthiness (RAE(F)), for leading the independent assessment → Avtrain, for their regulatory guidance throughout the application Their commitment to safety and innovation made this possible. The bigger picture: This isn't just a certificate — it's a step toward a scalable, repeatable regulatory framework for advanced uncrewed aircraft operations, and a reflection of Manna's commitment to the highest technical, operational, and safety standards as we expand. #MannaAirDelivery #Aviation #Innovation #UAS #FutureOfLogistics #DroneDelivery
