DoorDash Air is an in-house uncrewed aircraft delivery operation built around a quadcopter fleet, ground handoff infrastructure and the air-carrier certification that United States regulations require for commercial package carriage. It places the delivery platform itself in the role of operator rather than contracting flights to a third-party drone company.
