Alibaba Group’s Taobao Flash Sale launched its first “drone aggregation delivery” route in the Haizhu district of Guangzhou. The service operates in collaboration with Xunyi Technology.
The new service allows consumers to receive food deliveries via drone without incurring extra fees. This initiative aims to facilitate long-distance urban purchases and reduce operational costs by consolidating multiple orders.
Following the announcement, Alibaba’s stock rose 1.3%. The share price closed at $152.04. The deployment aligns with Alibaba’s broader strategy to innovate e-commerce services and enhance logistics efficiency within the competitive market.
