About
Manna Air Delivery is an Irish autonomous drone delivery company that designs, builds, and operates its own aircraft, software, and delivery network to bring food, groceries, medicine, and everyday essentials directly to customers' yards in under three minutes. The company's proprietary Manna 2 aircraft is purpose-built, all-electric, and operates at 210–260 feet altitude without ever landing — lowering parcels via a tether before climbing away. Customers order through Uber Eats, DoorDash, Deliveroo, Just Eat, or the Manna app, and orders are flown directly from local stores to front yards in a median flight time of under three minutes.
Founded in Dublin in 2018 by Bobby Healy, Manna has completed close to 380,000 commercial deliveries across Ireland, Finland, and the United States, making it one of the most experienced autonomous drone delivery operators in the world. The company became the first to receive a Light UAS Operator Certificate (LUC) in Europe from the Irish Aviation Authority in 2021, enabling self-authorisation of certain operations. In 2026, the UK Civil Aviation Authority granted Manna a SAIL III operational authorisation, and the company is pursuing UAE authorisation.
In 2026, Manna launched its first full-scale US operation in Tulsa, Oklahoma, with plans to expand to Dallas, Texas and Dubai, UAE. The company is establishing Tulsa as its US manufacturing and operations hub, with plans to create over 1,000 jobs there over three years. Manna has raised $110 million in total funding and operates with a Net Promoter Score of 86, ahead of Apple's benchmark.
