The aircraft service of AlfaTab, the parent company of Google, made its first air delivery in North Canberra, Australia, on Tuesday after obtaining approval from the country's civil aviation authority.

Wing said the delivery service would be available to a limited range of eligible homes in the suburbs of Harris, Palmerston and Franklin, and would gradually expand to include customers in Harrison and Jonghallain.

The service works with a range of local companies - including cafes and pharmacies - to deliver their products in minutes.

In July of last year, Wing separated from the research department of Alphabit to become an independent company under the umbrella of Alphabit, part of the Other Bets division, headed by James Ryan Burgess.

The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA) said on Tuesday that "Wing's operation meets an acceptable level of safety" and operates within the guidelines for commercial aircraft operators flying more than 2 kg.

Airplanes will not be allowed to fly over main roads or near people, and will provide home customers with information on how to handle this type of aircraft.

In December, she announced that she would launch the first European delivery service in Finland in the spring of 2019.

Google has beat Amazon, DHL and UPS, which has conducted a number of pilot deliveries by US and UK aircraft, but the service has not yet started officially.
