Tesco will partner with Irish drone company Manno Aero to trial grocery home deliveries with drones. Irish entrepreneur Bobby Healy's drone Manna Aero business has already been trailing fast food deliveries using its flying drones. Tesco CEO Dave Lewis said the grocery deliveries pilot would take place in Ireland. Manna Aero holds a ‘Specific Operating Permission’ granted by the IAA to fly specific small unmanned aircraft in Ireland. However, drones flying over communities have attracted an increasing number of complaints with fears over citizen privacy and safety.
