Flirtey will be using the university's indoor flight test facilities to look into studying and refining the system, so that the company will be among the first off the mark if and when drone deliveries become a regulatory reality. Flirtey will be the first to trial New Zealand's groundbreaking Airshare system, a drone hub that is looking into how to integrate commercial drones with other aircraft. The system includes a strict set of rules and regulations for flying drones. While Flirtey will be the first to trial New Zealand's Airshare system, it will have to contend with [Amazon](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-pharmacy-1) and [Google](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spotselfie-ar-meta-stores) once drone delivery services become a reality. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.1/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 19% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/robots) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Drone Delivery Systems:** Opportunity to refine and test drone delivery systems in order to be ready for future regulatory changes. - **Integration of Commercial Drones:** Exploring the integration of commercial drones with other aircraft through innovative drone hub systems. - **Competition in Drone Delivery:** Facing competition from major players like Amazon and Google once drone delivery services launch. ### Who This Affects Most - **Logistics and Delivery:** Logistics companies have the potential to adopt and develop drone delivery systems for efficient and fast delivery services. - **Aerospace and Aviation:** Aerospace and aviation industries can explore the integration of commercial drones with existing aircraft systems. - **Technology and E-commerce:** Technology and e-commerce companies can tap into the emerging market of drone delivery services, competing with established players. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streamlined Drone Delivery Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-delivery-network.md) - [Next-Generation Urban Drone Networks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/urban-drone-network.md) - [Irish Drone-Executed Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/just-eat-takeawaycom.md) - [Medication Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-pharmacy-1.md) - [Drone-Powered Delivery Services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flytrex-drone-delivery.md) - [Unmanned Aircraft Food Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unmanned-aircrafts.md) - [Retailer Drone Delivery Programs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wing.md) - [Takeout Meal Drone Deliveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/deliveroo-drone-delivery.md) - [Temperature-Resistant Delivery Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/temperatureresistant-delivery-drones.md)
