According to a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report, Wing Aviation, a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc., has requested approval from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to allow it to expand its drone operations to increase its efficiency in drone deliveries and and enable the company to control drone flights from a central hub.
