Rival drone delivery companies Flytrex and Wing have successfully implemented a shared, autonomous air traffic control system in Dallas, Texas. This system, operational for about a year, allows their drones to negotiate airspace and deconflict flights without human intervention, preventing collisions as operations scale. The system has deconflicted 100% of operational intents, handling approximately 8,000 overlapping deliveries between January and February 2026, demonstrating a viable model for industry-wide drone traffic management.
