Meituan plans to use drones for food delivery as early as this year. This would make the Beijing-based company the first company ever to utilize this type of contactless air delivery in everyday operations. This service has already entered the test phase in Shenzhen, southern China, reports the South China Morning Post (SCMP). There, a fleet of drones now delivers meals within a three-kilometer radius around Longgang COCO Park, a shopping and office complex located in the east of the city.
