Drone Express rebrands as DEXA, eyes FAA Part 135 certification

Aerial logistics specialist Drone Express has rebranded as DEXA as it moves closer to obtaining Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Part 135 certification. This transition marks the company’s shift from operating under FAA’s Part 107 to aiming for full certification as an Air Carrier. Once approved, DEXA will be able to conduct autonomous Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights for commercial drone delivery purposes across the United States.

The rebranding comes at a key moment for the Ohio-based company, reflecting a broader vision for its role in the future of drone technology and last-mile logistics. DEXA aims to integrate autonomous drone delivery more deeply into daily life.

Beth Flippo, the company’s CEO, emphasizes this shift, saying, “This change reflects the success of our years-long commitment to placing safety and regulations at the forefront of all we do. As we approach our FAA Part 135 certification, we are confident that DEXA better embodies our vision and the forward-thinking direction we are pursuing. As we enter this new chapter, our enthusiasm for the future is stronger than ever!”

Flippo adds that DEXA’s new brand identity represents innovation, operational excellence, and a commitment to environmentally responsible practices in the growing field of autonomous flight. The company will continue to prioritize safety and reliability as it aims to deliver efficient last-mile delivery solutions.
