Zipline opens Round Rock First Flight in Austin

Zipline opened First Flight orders in Round Rock on Oct. 9 for customers within three miles of a hub at 3000 E. Palm Valley Blvd., its first named Austin-area delivery zone. The company demonstrated a delivery at Stony Point High School on Oct. 8; the City of Round Rock says the hub sits in the city's extraterritorial jurisdiction. FAA comments on a five-metro Texas operations-specifications draft that includes Austin remain open through Oct. 11, and Zipline's launch post does not name Round Rock merchants.
