FAA Part 135 UAS Air Carrier

One of the first — and few — companies scaling drone delivery in the U.S.

Causey Aviation Unmanned is a partner-built drone air carrier. We hold the FAA certification to deliver at scale — and unlike the largest operators, we fly for you.

What we are
An FAA-certificated standard Part 135 UAS air carrier — the certification required to fly commercial drone delivery at scale in the United States.
Track record
More than 250,000 commercial drone deliveries to homes and healthcare facilities, flown safely across North Carolina, Texas and New York.
Who we work with
Flytrex, whose retail delivery mission we support as its operating air carrier; hospitals and health systems; drone OEMs; and eVTOL manufacturers entering the U.S. market.

Why Causey

National-scale capability. Partner-first business model.

Scaled drone delivery in the U.S. requires a standard Part 135 air carrier certificate — an approval so demanding that only a handful of companies have ever earned it. We received ours in January 2023 and have been flying commercially every day since.

The others use that certification to build their own networks. We use ours to accelerate yours. Retailers, health systems, drone OEMs, and international manufacturers plug into our certificate, our FAA relationships, and our operations team — and get to the U.S. market years faster than going it alone.

  • Standard Part 135 air carrier — the same FAA certification class the largest operators hold
  • FAA BEYOND program participant with an Integration Partnership for healthcare logistics
  • 250,000+ deliveries of food, retail goods, and medical supplies
  • Backed by Causey Aviation's certificated air-carrier operations

Proven in the real world

250,000 deliveries. Zero shortcuts.

Since 2017 we've flown dinner to backyards in Fayetteville, prescriptions to patients, and supplies between medical facilities — through real weather, real airspace, and real regulatory scrutiny. Every flight operates under the safety systems of a certificated air carrier.

That operating history is why partners choose us: it's evidence, not a promise.
