From Blanchardstown to Oklahoma: Manna’s US drone deliveries aren’t off to a flying start

Residents of Tulsa, Oklahoma, are expressing significant concerns about the upcoming deployment of drone delivery services by Manna, a company planning to establish a new drone operations base in the area. Local resident Angela Browning, president of the Yorktown Neighborhood Association, highlighted issues such as noise pollution, safety risks, privacy violations, and potential harm to wildlife. These concerns mirror those previously raised by residents in Dublin suburbs like Blanchardstown and Dundrum when Manna expanded its services. Community members gathered at a town hall meeting to voice their worries, though discussions remained largely civil despite moments of tension. Other residents, including John Spillyards and Diama Norris, emphasized the need for careful consideration of long-term consequences and greater transparency from the company. Martin Jensen expressed fears about the normalization of drone traffic in the airspace, warning that even non-users would be affected.
