[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/94925.html?1385973157]drones[/url], called Octocopters, could deliver packages weighing up to 2.3kg to customers within 30 minutes of them placing the order, he said. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]However, he added that it could take up to five years for the service to start. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The US Federal Aviation Administration is yet to approve the use of unmanned drones for civilian purposes. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"I know this looks like science fiction, but it's not," Mr Bezos told CBS television's 60 Minutes programme.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"We can do half-hour delivery... and we can carry objects, we think, up to five pounds (2.3kg), which covers 86% of the items that we deliver."[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][b]'Ready to enter'[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The service will be called Prime Air and comes as Amazon is looking to improve its efficiency to boost growth.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px][url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/94925.html?1385973157]Amazon[/url] also posted a video on its website showing a drone picking up a package from one of its warehouses and delivering it to the doorstep of a customer's house. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]However, it still has to wait for permission from US regulators.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has approved the use of drones for police and government agencies, issuing about 1,400 permits over the past several years.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Civilian air space is expected to be opened up to all kinds of drones in the US by 2015 and in Europe by 2016. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]Amazon said "from a technology point of view, we'll be ready to enter commercial operations as soon as the necessary regulations are in place". [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]The FAA was "actively working on rules for unmanned aerial vehicles", the company said, adding that it hoped the green light would be given as early as 2015.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=12px]"One day, Prime Air [url=http://www.enread.com/news/life/94925.html?1385973157]vehicles[/url] will be as normal as seeing mail trucks on the road today."[/size][/font]
