FAA grants first full approval to UPS Flight Forward to operate Matternet aircraft at scale. UPS and Matternet to scale drone delivery hospital operations in the U.S.

Matternet CEO Andreas Raptopoulos joins “Squawk Alley” to discuss the company’s new partnership with UPS to deliver medical samples with drones. Watch on CNBC.

The FAA's first sanctioned, revenue-generating drone delivery service involves speeding up the movement of blood and tissue samples.

UPS and Matternet are working together to help a hospital network get samples to the lab faster.

UPS and Matternet announce a groundbreaking logistics service to deliver medical samples via drone across WakeMed, a major healthcare system in North Carolina. This is the first FAA sanctioned use of a drone system for routine revenue flights in the US.

During this time USZ, UZH, Swiss Post and Matternet will gather experience in long-term autonomous drone operation. The laboratory samples can reach their destination twice as quickly by air than by road in Zurich – the time saved can be invaluable to patients, doctors and other healthcare professionals.

Accomplished executive and doctor bring decades of regulation aviation affairs and healthcare expertise to Matternet's board.

The funding for the Swiss autonomous drone logistics platform Matternet will aid its expansion into urban areas in the U.S. and elsewhere, and is a vote of confidence in what many already believe will be a standard feature of our lives in the near future.

Because autonomous delivery drones are undoubtedly coming, Boeing HorizonX Ventures, the aviation company’s venture arm, led a $16 million round in drone startup Matternet.

And it's got some clever new hardware to make it work.

During a medical emergency, every second matters–including the ones spent driving samples to and from external labs for testing. But what if they could be flown instead? That’s the idea behind a new fleet of delivery drones, developed by California-based Matternet for deployment in Switzerland.

The partners demonstrated a delivery live to an audience of media today, showing a coffee delivery from a small Swiss merchant using siroop’s platform.

Part delivery van, part helipad—that pretty much describes a handful of Mercedes-Benz vehicles that are currently cruising the streets of Zurich.

Matternet’s new system will let hospitals quickly move samples to labs and get extra blood for emergencies. It’s the first of its kind operating in a dense, urban environment.

Like a futuristic postal service... that delivers blood.

Matternet, a startup building autonomous drones for delivery, has been working to commercialize its tech via transportation of blood and pathology samples to labs. Taking traffic out of the equation has already shown it can cut hours off the testing process, but Matternet is pushing to become even more efficient at autonomous transportation. This drive led to the development of the Matternet Station — an automated basestation for swapping batteries and payloads on the company’s drones.
