Founded in Ireland in 2018, Manna Aero is a pioneer in European drone delivery. To date, the company has completed nearly 380,000 deliveries worldwide, operating one of the most technically advanced drone delivery platforms globally — a testament to its mature commercial capabilities.
Entering the U.S. Market
The choice of Tulsa as the launchpad for U.S. expansion marks a significant step in Manna's journey from its Irish roots to the international stage. Tulsa will serve as Manna's strategic U.S. hub, with the company expected to use the city as a foundation for gradually extending services to additional American cities.

Tulsa has been actively courting technology companies in recent years, and its partnership with Manna underscores the city's proactive stance on innovative technology adoption.
