Zipline's US deliveries surge as it adds Cleveland Clinic, Austin

Zipline said on July 15 that the number of businesses offering delivery through its app grew 13-fold in the first half of 2026, pushing its lifetime total past 2.5 million autonomous commercial deliveries - including one million in the past year alone. The drone-logistics company launched consumer service in Austin and a home prescription-delivery partnership with Cleveland Clinic, its first healthcare home-delivery service, and CEO Keller Rinaudo Cliffton told CNBC he expects the US business to grow 15x over 2026. To scale, Zipline hired executives from Tesla, Waymo and Uber, including former Tesla finance vice president Sendil Palani as chief financial officer.
