Amazon has officially become an air carrier in the US.

The Federal Aviation Administration has granted Amazon Prime Air approval to begin its first commercial delivery trials.

The FAA still needs to define regulations beyond the trial phase, so it may still be a few years before a full commercial drone delivery service is available.

Amazon has not revealed when or where it will begin its trials.
